Micran will arrange for the development and production of fixed and mobile satellite communication terminals, as well as communication equipment for spacecraft in the interests of Gazprom. Gazprom Transgaz Tomsk will become a testing ground to check the performance of equipment used at production facilities in the eastern regions of Russia.
REP Holding and Sakhalin Energy signed an Agreement of Cooperation.
The document provides for a set of measures pertaining to the operation, major repairs and retrofitting of gas compressor equipment at the facilities of the Sakhalin II project.
