UFA, 5 October 2018. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/. A roadmap on the interaction of PJSC Gazprom with the industrial complex of Bashkortostan was signed within the framework of the 8th St. Petersburg International Gas Forum. The document was signed by the Head of the Republic Rustem Khamitov, the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Denis Manturov and the Chairman of the Management Board of the company Alexey Miller.

The roadmap improves the efficiency and transparency of access procedures for industrial and scientific-technical products, as well as products and services of Bashkortostan organizations supplied for PJSC Gazprom in the framework of attracting domestic manufacturers to participate in the implementation of import substitution policies and mastering the high-tech equipment production. The implementation of the planned activities will be carried out in the period from 2018 to 2021.

The document assumes an increase in the share of domestic high-tech products used at the company's facilities, ensuring the quality of the products supplied required by Gazprom and Russian Federation national standards, the development of competitive telecommunications equipment by Russian manufacturers, and the development of infrastructure projects for the use of liquefied natural gas as gas engine fuel.

As part of the roadmap, it is planned to implement joint projects in import substitution with JSC NPP Poligon and JSC Salavatneftemash.

Earlier in 2014, a roadmap was approved to expand the use of high-tech products by republican organizations ordered by Gazprom. Over the past four years, the company has acquired regional industrial products and services totaling about 9 billion rubles, of which over 2 billion rubles have been acquired since the beginning of 2018. The new roadmap specifies activities for a number of manufacturers. Thus, it is planned to organize the production of cryo- automatic gas refueling station at Salavatneftemash, JSC, and modern telecommunication equipment at JSC Poligon. It also provides for measures in the field of certification of products, services and management systems of enterprises for compliance with the requirements of Gazprom.

The Head of Bashkortostan also got acquainted with an exposition of the specialized exhibition, which is held as part of the forum. Republican enterprises engaged in the production of equipment, machinery and materials for the oil and gas industry participate in it, in particular. Among them, there are JSC NPP Poligon, JSC Salavatneftemash, JSC Salavat Catalytic Plant, OZNA, Technoteks, NPF Paker and other companies. Rustem Khamitov examined the presented products, discussed the development prospects and the possibilities of product diversification.
