Who is in charge of this wealth?
Birth and development of the gas giant
By the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was firmly entrenched among the leading countries in terms of explored reserves of natural gas. From the moment of their discovery, all gas fields were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Gas Industry of the USSR, which organized the production and transportation of the energy carrier.
In August 1990, the ministry was transformed into a single state gas producing concern, Gazprom. Management headed In November 1992, the company became a joint-stock company. In just 5 years, more than 60% of the organization's shares were sold to private investors.

The dependence of some European countries on gas supplies from Russia reached 100%. During this period, the rapid development of supplies to Asian countries began. By the end of 2007, Gazprom's enterprises produced 85% of Russian and 20% of the world's gas.
By 2010, the company had international projects for the development of gas and oil fields in Venezuela (360 billion m³ of gas and 640 million tons of oil), India (375 million tons of standard fuel), Algeria (30 million tons of oil) and other countries.
Since 2007, the company has funded the Gazprom for Children charity program aimed at building sports facilities in various cities of Russia. Over 10 years, more than 1,600 modern sports facilities have been built in 73 regions of the country.

In January 2018, Gazprom requested Russian government allow the company to sell its own gas on the St. Petersburg Commodity Exchange (SPIMEX) without any restrictions. As reported in the news, Alexei Miller sent this letter to the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
Relations between Gazprom and Naftogaz
A special place in the activities of Alexei Miller as the head of Gazprom was occupied by relations with the Ukrainian Naftogaz. The “gas wars” between Russia and Ukraine continued for years, and the situation became especially difficult after the Euromaidan, when Kyiv stopped paying for gas. Then Vladimir Putin said that Gazprom would “supply gas only in those volumes that would be paid for by the Ukrainian side a month in advance. How much they pay, so much they will receive.
On June 2, 2014, Alexey Miller announced that the price of blue fuel for Ukraine could drop below 385.5 US dollars per thousand cubic meters as a result of a discount provided by Gazprom.
On June 16, due to regular non-payments by Naftogaz Ukrainy, Gazprom introduced a prepayment regime for Ukraine for gas supplies. In addition, Gazprom filed with the Stockholm court of Arbitration lawsuit against the government of Ukraine total amount about 4.5 billion dollars. Dmitry Medvedev, commenting on the news that Russia will supply gas to Ukraine only after pre-payment and repayment of all debts, wrote: "The freebie is over."
In July, Alexey Miller reported that Ukraine's total debt for fuel supplied by Gazprom had reached $5.29 billion. In total, 11.5 billion cubic meters of gas remain unpaid, which is comparable to the volume of annual Russian gas supplies to Poland.
“Ukraine’s unwillingness to pay for Russian gas in principle is becoming chronic and once again shows that the transfer to prepayment, stipulated by the terms of the contract, was the only right decision,” Miller emphasized.
On October 31, 2014, gas negotiations in the Russia-Ukraine-EU format were completed in Brussels. A tripartite agreement was signed, which fixed the plan for gas supplies to winter period. The first part was signed by the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, Vice President of the European Commission Gunther Oettinger, Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak and head of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine Yuri Prodan, the second document was signed by the heads of Gazprom and Naftogaz.
“We, the citizens of Europe, can say that gas supplies are secured this winter, we have achieved a breakthrough. Everyone benefited from this, especially the citizens of the EU. The transit function of Ukraine will continue to be carried out. Countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary will receive sufficient volumes of gas,” Günter Oettinger said.

The European Commissioner for Energy also confirmed the points reached earlier, in particular, about a $100 discount from the Russian Federation and about Ukraine's obligations to pay $3.1 billion of its debt. At the same time, until March 2015, the news reported, Ukraine could buy gas on an advance payment at a price of $385 per thousand cubic meters. meters of gas or below, according to the calculation formula. It was noted that the key issue of the talks on October 30 was the financial guarantees of the European Commission for payment by Kyiv of Russian gas supplies.
In April 2015, Gazprom and Naftogaz signed an agreement on gas supplies in the second quarter of 2015.
In 2015, Gazprom filed a lawsuit against Naftogaz, demanding to recover from the company a fee for the shortfall in contractual gas volumes in 2012-2013, which it had to pay under the take-or-pay rule (“take or pay” - an annual payment minimum amount of fuel). Naftogaz, in turn, demanded a revision of pricing, which he considered not market-based. In 2012, the “square” received a discount of one hundred dollars per thousand cubic meters of gas in exchange for basing the Black Sea Fleet in the Crimea. But in 2014, after Crimea became part of the Russian Federation, the discount was canceled, and the price rose to $485 per thousand cubic meters. Naftogaz refused to pay at such a price and also applied to arbitration.
In autumn 2015, Russia again gave Ukraine a gas discount. According to the Deputy Head of the European Commission (EC) for the Energy Union Maros Shefcovic, in addition to the tripartite protocol, the "winter package" of documents included an additional contract between Gazprom and Naftogaz.
On November 18, 2015, the European Commission gave the green light to three gas pipelines from Southeast to Central Europe at once, which Gazprom can use to supply the Balkans with Turkish Stream gas. These projects allowed Gazprom to solve the problem of delivering gas to European consumers, while refusing gas transit through Ukraine.
Thus, Russia was going to secure itself from a gas crisis similar to the 2009 crisis, when Ukraine was stealing gas. The head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, made it clear that the Russian concern would not build “threads” in the EU in continuation of the Turkish Stream, and this should be taken care of by the Europeans themselves.
At the beginning of June 2016, Gazprom received an official letter from Naftogaz with a request to resume the supply of Russian fuel. Kyiv was offered a price of $177 per thousand cubic meters, but Naftogaz considered it too high. Then Gazprom issued a preliminary bill to Kyiv for gas.
On May 31, 2017, the Stockholm Arbitration Court issued an interim decision in a dispute between Gazprom and Naftogaz over a contract for the supply of gas to Ukraine.
On February 28, 2018, the Stockholm Arbitration Court published the decision on the transit claim of Naftogaz against Gazprom. It was rendered in favor of the Ukrainian company and obliged the Russian gas giant pay Naftogaz $2.56 billion.
At the same time, Naftogaz demanded even more - $17 billion. Gazprom does not agree with the decision of the Stockholm arbitration, accusing it of violating the norms of Swedish law governing the contract with Naftogaz. Gazprom promised to protect its rights "by all means" that would not contradict the law.
After that, the management of Gazprom announced that it had returned the advance payment for March to Naftogaz and would not resume gas supplies. As a result, the Ukrainian authorities temporarily limited gas consumption in the country, but a day later the President Petro Poroshenko announced the start of fuel supplies from Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. As it turned out, this option turned out to be four times more expensive than the Russian proposal.
Commercial Director of Naftogaz Yuri Vitrenko said that Gazprom had underpaid his company about $20 billion since 2009 due to the fact that fuel transit tariffs were underestimated.

This is how one of largest companies in the world, so its administration is organized. In terms of its structure, Gazprom is generally organized like other corporations of the same size. But given the importance of the tasks that the company solves in the course of its activities, the organization of business management in this case requires the use of the most effective approaches in management.
De jure, the head of Gazprom - the chairman of the company's Board of Directors, as well as his subordinates solve difficult tasks to bring the corporation's management system in line with this criterion.
Company branches
In the course of building the Gazprom management model, its branches were transformed into independent legal entities. They began to function as regional corporations in the gas sector. Each branch of Gazprom is thus de jure independent of the main company, although, of course, it develops in the context of the strategic priorities developed by the head office of the corporation.
Migration of management to the Northern capital
The management of the largest Russian gas corporation is characterized by a very remarkable trend - the steady migration of Gazprom's internal corporate structures to the Northern capital. We already know that the city where the main office of the Gazprom corporation is located is Moscow. But now St. Petersburg has every chance of becoming a key city in Russia in terms of brand presence at various levels of legal relations. With what it can be connected? What attracts such a corporation as Gazprom, St. Petersburg?
First of all, of course, it is worth noting that the northern capital of Russia is a wonderful city in itself, and this circumstance alone can become a factor in the desire of the country's leading managers to work there. According to experts, the largest Russian gas corporation now occupies about 20% of St. Petersburg offices in the luxury segment.
By 2018, the company's headquarters are planned to be located in the northern capital. It is assumed that the new head office of Gazprom will be located in the Lakhta Center building, which is currently being built in the Primorsky district of St. Petersburg. The building will be represented by a skyscraper, as well as an office complex. The total area of the facility will be about 400 thousand square meters. meters.
At what address in the Northern capital will the main office of Gazprom be located? The address of the Lakhta Center is Lakhtinsky Prospekt, 2, bldg. 3. The construction of the structure began in 2013. It is expected that the skyscraper of the center will be the highest among the buildings in Russia and Europe. In particular, it will be 88 meters higher than the Federation Tower, which is located in the capital office complex"Moscow City".
Office address
Actually, where is the headquarters of the Gazprom company now located? The address of the current head office of the corporation: Moscow, st. Nametkina, 16. The building is thus located in the South-West of the Russian capital. It is possible that after Gazprom moves (St. Petersburg and Lakhta Center are still in a state of expectation of this), the competent structures involved in the management of the company will continue to work in the building of the current headquarters of the corporation. .
Gazprom's subsidiaries and departments operate in St. Petersburg.
