MILAN, Italy — Italy’s Eni and Gazprom have extended a 2006 strategic agreement until 2012 aiming to boost industrial and commercial operations in Russia and other countries, Eni said Thursday.
The companies also signed agreements for technical and scientific cooperation in the upstream and downstream sectors, Eni said in a statement.
Integrated working groups will be set up to study application of drilling, production, transportation, energy saving and liquefied natural gas technologies and processes, as well as personnel training, Eni said.

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.
