Gazprom and LUKOIL eye CNG dispensers at petrol stations

Top executives of Russian energy company LUKOIL and state-owned gas giant Gazprom are exploring the possibility of installing compressed natural gas (CNG) dispensers at Lukoil filling stations, according to a Gazprom news release.

It was one of the topics discussed by the Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee Alexey Miller and President of LUKOIL Vagit Alekperov in a meeting that took place in Moscow last week.

The meeting is in line with the continuous cooperation between the two companies, which are both bound by the 2014–2024 General Agreement on Strategic Partnership.

The talks also included the implementation of the long-term contract for purchasing gas from LUKOIL's fields in the Bolshekhetskaya Depression and the project for processing LUKOIL's associated petroleum gas at the Gazprom-owned Sosnogorsk plant.
