Siemens innovative technologies, including digital communications and telecommunications, are widely in use at the Gazprom production facilities.

That has been positively received in the country, including Gazprom. That’s why we are confident that the strategic partnership deepening with Gazprom and project implementation on the basis of the energy efficient and environmentally friendly technologies will contribute to further sustained development of the Russian economy and both companies ,” said Peter Loescher.
