Gazprom and the Republic intend to seal a deal for joint social-economic collaboration
In the heart of Eastern Siberia, Gazprom Neft's activities in the Chonsky cluster, located within Yakutia, are driving the development of oil and gas resources in remote regions. The company's strategic approach to resource development aligns with regional growth and community needs, as demonstrated by its partnerships, investments, and job creation initiatives.
The strategic partnership agreement, signed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in 2025, is between Gazprom Neft and the regional authorities of Yakutia. This partnership aims to foster socio-economic development in the region, with plans for scientific and technological cooperation being a key focus.
Gazprom Neft has made significant investments in the Chonsky cluster, focusing on exploration and production activities. These investments are essential for the development of the region's oil and gas resources, which in turn support the expansion of local infrastructure and economic growth. The company is the operator of these projects, with Gazpromneft-Zapolyarye at the helm.
The exploration and production activities by Gazprom Neft in the Chonsky cluster result in the creation of jobs both directly and indirectly. Direct employment opportunities arise from the need for skilled workers in the oil and gas industry, while indirect opportunities emerge in sectors that support the industry, such as services and infrastructure development. This not only boosts local employment but also contributes to the regional social welfare by providing stable income sources for residents.
One of the fields Gazprom Neft is working on in the Chonsky cluster is the Chayandinskoye field. The company's activities here, and in other projects, are contributing to the local economy by stimulating economic activity through the creation of supply chains and the need for local services.
However, Gazprom Neft's commitment to the Chonsky cluster extends beyond economic development. The company is also focused on minimizing environmental impact and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. Engaging with local communities is another crucial aspect, with the company addressing concerns and ensuring that the benefits of economic growth are shared equitably.
By balancing economic development with environmental and social responsibility, Gazprom Neft can ensure that its activities in the Chonsky cluster contribute positively to the region's future. The company's ongoing efforts in Yakutia reflect a strategic approach to resource development that prioritizes sustainable growth and community well-being.
Gazprom Neft's strategic partnership with Yakutia's regional authorities, formed in 2025, emphasizes the development of the region's finance, industry, and energy sectors, with a focus on scientific and technological cooperation. The company's investments in the Chonsky cluster, primarily for exploration and production activities, have promoted the growth of the regional business, fostering infrastructure development and job opportunities in the oil and gas industry and related sectors.
