Over the past ten years of implementing the Eastern #gas Program, #gazprom has laid a strong foundation for #gas industry development in the east of Russia. The Company built a formidable resource base with more than 5 trillion cubic meters of gas, set up gas production centers in Sakhalin and Kamchatka, constructed the Russian Far East’s first inter-regional Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok #gas transmission system and the Sobolevo – Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky #gas pipeline, and created a total of 9,200 new jobs in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD), with 4,800 jobs expected to be added thanks to the Chayandinskoye field, the Power of Siberia #gas trunkline, and the Amur #gas processing plant (GPP).

The newly-established Yakutia and Irkutsk #gas production centers are undergoing active pre-development, with Power of Siberia and the Amur GPP under construction.

Thirty #gas pipelines with a total length of some 430 kilometers have been built in the FEFD under the Regional Gasification Program, bringing #gas to 42 population centers, 21,400 households and apartments and 80 boiler houses. In 2017, #gazprom allocated RUB 9.5 billion for gasification purposes relating to the region.

In ten years, 43 state-of-the-art sports facilities have been constructed in the FEFD within the #gazprom for Children program. The #gazprom Group paid RUB 24 billion in taxes to the regional authorities.
