The Session «Occupational Safety and Labour Protection Today. Key Success Factors and Overcoming Difficulties» was held as part of the SPIGF-2023.
The Russian oil and gas industry is self-sufficient and works successfully
Gennady Shmal, President of the Union of Oil and Gas Industrialists of Russia, assured participants in the Session «Occupational Safety and Labour Protection Today. Key Success Factors and Overcoming Difficulties».
The speaker noted sustainable development of the Russian fuel and energy industry in the changing world. Despite unprecedented sanctions, last year oil companies performed well: 535 million metric tons of oil were produced in the country.
“And if in January 2022 80% of exports were to the EAEU countries, then by the end of the year virtually everything went to the Eurasian countries, especially India», said Gennady Shmal. He added that the Russian energy industry is experiencing its difficult time, but our country’s role in the world is unshakable: Russia will remain one of the largest exporters of oil and gas fuels.
«We are self-sufficient, and the oil and gas complex is ready to cope with the tasks set for it by the President and the Government”, concluded Gennady Shmal.
