A definite progress was achieved in 2014 against the 2011 baseline on five out of six Corporate
Environmental Targets approved for OAO Gazprom for 2014–2016.
The overall performance against the target of reducing above-limit impact charges was
dragged down by the charges imposed by government supervisory agencies following their
inspection of OOO Gazprom dobycha Noyabrsk for the disposal of the drilling waste from drilling
operations in 2012 and 2013.
In addition to OAO Gazprom, most companies of Gazprom Group have a certified EMS in
place. These include OOO Gazprom energoholding and its subsidiaries (OAO Mosenergo,
OAO OGK-2, OAO TGC-1), OAO Gazprom neft, OAO Gazprom neftekhim Salavat, Sakhalin
Energy, OAO Severneftegazprom, and others.
Environmental performance
Total air pollution emissions made by Gazprom Group’s stationary sources in Russia, were cut by
278,800 tonnes y-o-y due to the implementation of a set of initiatives by OAO Gazprom to reduce
methane emissions from pipelining, underground storage and processing of natural gas; reduction
of emissions from Gazprom energoholding’s facilities due to reduced power generation;
implementation of a range of technology solutions by Gazprom neft to improve the efficiency
of APG utilisation at its fields; and implementation of programmes to reduce emissions from oil
refining operations.
