New Gazprom Vision

摘要

Last week saw Gazprom trumpeting its intention to remodel itself in the image of the Western oil and gas majors,even as it was being pulled back under the umbrella of majority state-ownership(WGI Jun.22,p5).It also provided reminders of the difficulties those international majors and other Western energy players - including even 6.5% Gazprom shareholder E.On Ruhrgas - face in dealing with an institution that remains most notable for being the world's largest gas company(WGI May25,pl).
