    Tax Monitoring

    Gazprom Group entities continue to join the tax monitoring system, providing tax authorities with access to accounting and tax data in real time using a domestic IT platform.

    As part of the Group’s tax management efforts in 2024, more Group entities will transition to tax monitoring. The Gazprom Group will continue working to improve tax efficiency and relevant risk management while also implementing tax support measures for its projects and operations.

    For more details on the Gazprom Group’s tax strategy and taxation regulations, see Appendix.

     

    The number of the Gazprom Group entities registered in the tax monitoring system in 2023 increased to 50 and is expected to reach 76 from 2024.

     

    Contribution to Strengthening Technological Sovereignty

    Achieving technological sovereignty

    Given developments in the geopolitical environment and unprecedented sanctions from unfriendly states, the Gazprom Group aims to replace imported industrial products with Russian-made alternatives. The Gazprom Group’s import substitution and technological independence policy provides for a continuous reduction in reliance on imported equipment and technologies across the Gazprom Group facilities and an increase in the share of Russian-made equipment and technologies in the Group’s operating and investing activities.

    The Gazprom Group is guided by PJSC Gazprom’s Corporate Import Substitution Plan and implements import substitution projects.

    Measures to Implement Import Substitution Projects

    • Development and implementation of road maps approved by PJSC Gazprom jointly with federal and regional authorities and other organizations;
    • interaction with production, engineering and service companies, including under various agreements;
    • entering into, and monitoring the performance under, long-term contracts for mass production, supply, maintenance and repairs of import-substituting products against guaranteed supply volumes of upcoming years.

    The key areas of focus in import substitution are shaped by the specifics of the gas business and processes of the Gazprom Group’s operations.

    The total economic effect of import substitution in the Gazprom Group for 2016–2023 stood at RUB 134.4 billion.

    The strongest effect from the 2023 efforts was in production of gas, gas condensate and oil.

    The Gazprom Group’s procurement system and procurement localization

     

    For many years, the Gazprom Group has been consistently engaged in driving the technology of its operations. In cooperation with Russian producers, high-tech and research-intensive equipment is being developed. As a result, technological sovereignty in the gas sector has been practically achieved.

     

    RUB 134.4 billion

    total economic effect from import substitution in 2016-2023

     

    In 2023, the Import Substitution and Technological Development Committee of PJSC Gazprom’s Board of Directors held four meetings to discuss matters related to designing and making cutting-edge domestic equipment for the national fuel and energy sector, including equipment for PJSC Gazprom’s LNG projects. Key decisions taken at the meetings are those concerned with the testing of new equipment samples at PJSC Gazprom’s facilities, entering into long-term purchase agreements for certain types of equipment, the need for state support (for certain types of equipment), and PJSC Gazprom’s financing of R&D activities associated with designing and making equipment and machinery in Russia.

    Risk Management Measures in Import Substitution

    The Gazprom Group manages the risks of reduced technological sovereignty by pursuing a policy of import substitution of the most important products and localizing production facilities to drive technological development across the Gazprom Group. Efforts are underway to monitor sanctions, including the likelihood of new restrictions by the EU, USA and other unfriendly countries against Russia and Russian persons.

    To make additional products from the multi-component gas from the Chayandinskoye and Kovyktinskoye fields, the Gazprom Group continues construction of the Amur Gas Processing Plant (Amur GPP). As of December 31, 2023, three of the plant’s six production trains and two of the three helium units were already operational. All start-up activities at the process units did not involve any foreign licensors. Helium is one of the most widely used noble gases. With its unique properties, helium is applied in a variety of high-tech industries, including aerospace, nuclear energy, and electronics, as well as metals and mining, and healthcare. Helium made at the Amur GPP has an exceptional purity of 99.9999%. In 2023, the Gazprom Group increased its helium capacity 8 times and shipped about 400 tons of commercial helium.
