The company already has successful experience of partnering with this region, with a number of major businesses in the Archangelsk Oblast having made the move to Gazprom Neft lubricants, reducing procurement costs by as much as 15%. Under this new agreement Gazprom Neft will increase supplies of high-tech products and expand its client base throughout the region's energy, housing and utilities and industrial businesses. Supplies of cutting-edge lubricants under this agreement will be facilitated by Gazpromneft Lubricants.

'More than 30 constituent entities of the Russian Federation have now signed up to the Gazprom Neft lubricants and service fluids import substitution programme. Being involved in the programme means businesses in the regions can cut procurement costs for high-tech lubricants while increasing the efficiency and reliability of machinery. We are, already, working with several companies in the Archangelsk Oblast, but signing this agreement with the regional government marks a completely different level of partnership. I have every confidence that municipal businesses throughout the region will appreciate the individual approach Gazprom Neft takes to the specific needs of each and every client.'

Alexander DyukovChairman of the Management Board, Gazprom Neft

'The structure of our region's economy gives rise to considerable interest in Gazprom Neft's products - not just from direct consumers of motor fluids and lubricants (forestry companies with major fleets) but also electricity and power companies, and the shipping industry. We anticipate that, thanks to our partnership with one of the leading companies on the domestic automotive and specialist lubricants market, we will be able to provide the region's businesses with high-quality products, replacing expensive foreign competitive products and optimising costs.'

Gazprom Neft's lubricants import substitution programme has been in operation since 2015. The cutting-edge lubricants produced by the company are certified by the Association Technique de l'Industrie Européenne des Lubrifiants (ATIEL) and the American Petroleum Institute (API), and are fully compliant with the requirements of leading automotive and industrial equipment producers. Under this agreement with the Archangelsk Oblast, Gazprom Neft specialists will help develop automotive lubricants in line with the specific needs and requirements of each participant on the programme. Adopting an integrated approach and replacing foreign products will allow regional businesses to gain an additional economic benefit while being fully compliant with equipment manufacturers' requirements.
