TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, July 9. President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting with Alexander Dyukov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprom Neft, to discuss future prospects for expanding cooperation in the oil and gas sector, Trend reports.
The meeting was focused on the implementation of a mutually beneficial partnership, outlined in an agreed-upon "roadmap."
Particular attention was placed on collaborative ventures in
critical domains including subsurface investigation, the
advancement of intricate hydrocarbon reservoirs, the digital
transformation of the sector, and the cultivation of top-tier
technical talent.
In the fall of 2023, Gazprom Neft and Uzbekneftegaz formalized a
strategic partnership aimed at enhancing operational efficiencies
in drilling methodologies within Uzbekistan’s hydrocarbon
extraction sites. Significantly, NoyabrskNeftegaz, a strategic
subsidiary of Gazprom Neft, has adeptly finalized the construction
of a production well at Uzbekistan's Shurtan field, achieving this
milestone ahead of the projected timeline.
Gazprom Neft, formerly recognized as Sibneft, stands as the
third-largest entity in the Russian hydrocarbon sector and occupies
the third position in terms of refining capacity metrics. The
entity, a subordinate division of Gazprom, is strategically
positioned in St. Petersburg, having transitioned its primary
operational base from Moscow in the year 2011.
