An opening ceremony for the Far Eastern branch of Gazprom 335 took place today on Russky Island in Vladivostok. The branch is a specialized engineering unit that will implement the projects of the Gazprom Group focused on offshore hydrocarbon production and on gas processing and liquefaction in Russia's Far East.
