Russian companies are expanding their competencies in creating equipment for offshore production
The Board of Directors of PJSC Gazprom took note of the information on the expansion of the agreement on cooperation in the field of import substitution of equipment, components, parts for subsea production complexes between the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and PJSC Gazprom in order to ensure the preferential use of Russian equipment for the implementation of projects on construction of the Kirinskoye and Yuzhno-Kirinskoye gas condensate fields.
It was noted that Gazprom closely cooperates with the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, scientific institutes and machine-building enterprises on the organization of production of equipment for the production of hydrocarbons on the shelf.
A significant result of systemic interaction was the creation of prototypes of the first Russian equipment for subsea production systems. They were presented in October 2019 at the St. Petersburg International Gas Forum. Domestic organizations have formed new design competencies, mastered key manufacturing technologies. Production of serial samples, comprehensive testing and certification procedures is expected in 2021.
This year, with the participation of Gazprom, a package of documents has been formed and submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia for carrying out new development work. They will cover ancillary equipment and tools for servicing the main equipment of subsea production systems.
