âWe are opening up new horizons for our 50-year strategic cooperation with OMV. Our reliable Austrian partner is joining another crucial project – the development of the Achimov formations in the Urengoyskoye field. We will sign the final document in 2019, and the development of Blocks 4A and 5A is planned until 2069. This means that we have another 50 years of fruitful work ahead of us,â? said Alexey Miller.
Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, and Sebastian Kurz, Federal Chancellor of Austria, opened at the State Hermitage Museum the âImperial Capitals: St. Petersburg, Vienna. Masterpieces of Museum Collectionsâ? exhibition organized with support from Gazprom and OMV.
