DUBLIN--()--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/05dcbc/offshore_projects) has announced the addition of the "Offshore Projects of Gazprom: Management System, Opportunities for Contractors" report to their offering.
“Offshore Projects of Gazprom: Management System, Opportunities for Contractors”
The development of the Shtokman field in the Barents Sea has been postponed but not for long. In the middle of April Prime Minister Vladimir Putin announced that the project would begin in the spring of 2011. In the Sea of Okhotsk, Gazprom is accelerating the Kirinskoye project. By the end of 2010, it is scheduled to install a production platform at the Prirazlomnoye oilfield in the Pechora Sea.
These examples show that Gazprom is serious about offshore business regardless of the weakening gas prices, shortage of own technologies and lack of experience of operations on the continental shelf. It translates into a wide range of opportunities for both domestic and international contractors: the first phase of Shtokman alone is estimated to be worth almost nearly $20 bln.
Offshore Projects of Gazprom:Management System, Opportunities for Contractors was released in April 2010. Its purpose is to help contractors choose the optimal strategy in relations with Gazprom, explain the companys decisionmaking system in offshore projects, and offer an outlook of the way Gazprom selects its partners.
The report contains answers to the questions that inevitably face those companies that consider participation in offshore projects in Russian waters, such as:
- What is the structure of management in offshore projects of Gazprom and its subsidiaries?
- What role do Russias leading policymakers play in the promotion of offshore projects?
- Which Gazprom managers are personally in charge of specific issues in offshore projects?
- What are Gazproms typical requirements of contractors in offshore projects?
- What are the criteria of choosing Gazproms international partners and contractors?
- How is an efficient lobbying strategy built to promote contractors interests?
The 70-page report contains charts that show interrelations between key officials at Gazproms units that deal with offshore projects and the decisionmaking process therein.
