Gazprom Mulls Selling Its Drilling Subsidiary

摘要

Gazprom is considering the sale of its drilling subsidiary and main contractor for drilling work, Gazprom Burenie (formerly known as Burgaz). The chief contender to buy the asset could be one of the companies controlled by the Rotenberg brothers. The elder of them, Arkady, is a longtime acquaintance of Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, and he already has experience working with Gazprom. His company Stroigazmontazh is one of Gazprom's main contractors on projects to build several large pipelines. Stroigazmontazh was created by uniting all construction assets acquired from Gazprom back in 2008.
