Innovations 85 Gazprom’s leadership in the global energy market is in many respects driven by innovative technologies and equipment widely used by the Company. The Company takes full advantage of its existing R&D capabilities and heavily invests in supporting own R&D projects and technological advancement. In the modern world, sustainable development and sustained business success are driven by a company’s ability to innovate. Therefore, innovations are an essential element of Gazprom’s corporate culture. The Group is one of the world’s largest energy suppliers, and its current achievements are largely due to a wide use of technological advances at all stages of its growth. By introducing new and unique hydrocarbon production and delivery projects in polar regions, on the shelf of the Okhotsk Sea, in Eastern Siberia and in the Far East, strategically important for the Russian economy, the Company drives new innovative and advanced solutions while maintaining its position of the country’s largest consumer of innovative products. The Company’s long-term innovations planning and management are regulated by the OAO Gazprom’s Innovative Development Programme until 2020, approved in June 2011. The Programme sets forth and streamlines priority objectives and focus areas covering all aspects of the innovation cycle and sets innovative growth targets for the planning period. Spanning a ten-year period, the Programme covers gas, oil and power generation businesses and provides for a range of interrelated initiatives to design and introduce new technologies and innovative world-class products and services. The Programme also aims at providing a favourable environment to promote innovative efforts both at OAO Gazprom and in related industrial production sectors of Russia. The Programme is the key tool in advancing the Company’s technology level and supporting its positions of a technology leader in the global energy business. The Company’s innovative development priorities include: — prospecting and development technologies, including developing resources in permafrost areas and on the continental shelf; — production technologies for operating fields, including at their final development stage; — technologies enhancing the efficiency of gas trunk pipelines and storage facilities; — gas marketing and use technologies; and — gas processing and gas and petrochemistry technologies. OAO Gazprom’s R&D Awards Established in 1998, OAO Gazprom’s R&D Awards promote technological advancement. Projects nominated for the award are reviewed by a panel composed of experts from OAO Gazprom and its subsidiaries, who evaluate the proposed solution’s relevance, novelty, knowledge-intensity, and cost efficiency for Gazprom, as well its marketability potential, and the extent to which local materials, technologies and equipment are used. In 2014, projects nominated by OOO Gazprom VNIIGAZ and OOO Gazprom transgaz Yekaterinburg were noted for their high relevancy and practical implications. OOO Gazprom VNIIGAZ has put in place a system to evaluate performance of circumferential welds in trunk lines based on a unique and unified hierarchy of simulation models and structural strength assessment criteria. By applying the resulting solutions to the construction of its offshore gas pipelines OAO Gazprom was able to keep up with the required construction rates and minimise unnecessary repairs while fully meeting weld strength and reliability requirements. OOO Gazprom transgaz Yekaterinburg designed a technology and unique process equipment for low-tonnage LNG production and storage. Yekaterinburg’s GDS-4 gas distribution station commissioned a 3 t/h LNG production facility. The company set up mobile and stationary filling stations for gas motor fuel consumers, i.e. motor vehicles and gas turbine locomotives. OAO Gazprom Annual Report 2014
86 Innovations In 2014, the budget of R&D projects ordered by Gazprom reached its historical high of RUB 10.82bn. By applying the project’s results the company was able to implement initiatives on independent non-pipeline gas infrastructure expansion in the housing and utilities sector of Staroutkinsk in the Sverdlovsk Region, as well as on backup and independent gas deliveries to socially and strategically important facilities in Kamensk-Uralskiy and Kurgan. R&D Potential OAO Gazprom operates an in-house research and development (R&D) system that comprises both research and development organisations and specialised engineering institutes. OAO Gazprom’s R&D system dates back to the 1930s–1940s when the first engineering and R&D facilities in this sector were established as the gas industry was taking shape. The key objective of facilities was to provide efficient integrated natural gas production, transportation and utilisation technologies and implement the resulting engineering solutions in projects to achieve high systemic reliability of the nascent gas industry. The stringent safety and efficiency requirements embedded in engineering and design solutions as early as at the research stage are still reliably protecting the Unified Gas Supply System against natural and economic calamities. Since its inception, OAO Gazprom’s R&D system has established unparalleled schools of thought in such areas as geology, deposit development, creation of multi-level gas transportation systems, etc. Managing innovations and R&D Chairman of the Management Committee Department responsible for prospective development Science and Technology Council Operating departments Research entities and units Innovation partners Gas business subsidiaries OAO Gazprom neft OOO Gazprom energoholding The unique climatic and geological profile of hydrocarbon fields under development and to be developed in Eastern Siberia, in the Yamal Peninsula, and on the Far East and Arctic continental shelf drive the need to invent cost efficient upstream solutions for these regions. In the modern context, OAO Gazprom’s R&D system needs to undertake a large-scale integrated R&D effort to design new technologies and scientifically valid solutions in gas production, transportation, preparation and storage to ensure agility to major trends in the global hydrocarbon market on the whole, and to the moves of its competitors.
