Gazprom said Thursday that it increased this year’s investment program by 13 percent to cover “key” transportation projects and developments in Russia’s east.
Gazprom plans to spend 905.2 billion rubles ($29 billion), including 751.8 billion rubles for capital expenditures, the company said in a statement after management revised its plans for this year.
The gas export monopoly plans to increase spending on the Kirinsky field off Sakhalin, where it boosted gas reserves by 33 percent this year, the Zapolyarnoye field in West Siberia and other deposits to help compensate for declines at aging fields.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
