On 21 March, a working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Kurt Bock, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of BASF, took place at the Gazprom headquarters.
The parties discussed the joint efforts in the ongoing development of hydrocarbon fields in Russia. It was noted that the total amount of natural gas produced from the Yuzhno-Russkoye field since the start of field development had exceeded 215 billion m3.
Alexey Miller and Kurt Bock also addressed issues related to the implementation of the Nord Stream 2 project.
BASF SE is a leader in the global chemical industry. The company’s portfolio includes oil and gas, chemicals, synthetics and petroleum derivatives.
