Gazprom's gas investment program and all of its production projects should also be closely monitored, which will also help it increase its sources of profit and become more competitive.
Of course, government regulations must also be taken into account here, which often leads to unfavourable pricing policies and can lead to losses for the group or thwart its strategic growth plans.
The weather conditions in the Siberian region in which the group carries out a large part of its activities should also be monitored due to the possibility of causing production or transport problems and therefore increasing operational costs.
Finally, you will also have to follow the oil and natural gas market with interest and the fluctuations in the prices of these two raw materials which may favour or disadvantage the activities of Gazprom.

After having toured Gazprom's main competitors, check out some of its allies with two tangible examples of strategic partnerships that this group has set up in the past.
In 2017, Gazprom established a strategic partnership with the Austrian oil company OMV. The two groups signed, during the International Economic Forum in Saint Petersburg, a memorandum of understanding aimed at coordinating the gas transport operations necessary to supply Central and Southern Europe. Keep to mind that OMV is Gazprom's main partner in Austria. In addition, the two groups have also signed an agreement in the liquefied natural gas or LNG sector which has enabled them to carry out joint projects for a production terminal on the Black Sea coast.
Another interesting strategic partnership was signed in 2010 between Gazprom and Total. It was then an agreement to sell a 20% stake in the Ipati and Aquio licenses in Bolivia. Total then acquired 60% of this stake, Gazprom 20% and Tecpetrol 20% as well. In fact, Total discovered in 2004 a gas field in Incahuasi on the Ipati permit. The drilling of well X-1001 on the permit made this discovery exploitable. The permits are located 200 km from the city of Santa Cruz, in the piedmont area of the Andes Cordillera. It's also important to mention that, in 2008, the two companies had signed a cooperation agreement with Yacimentos Petroliferos Fiscales Bolivianos in order to negotiate the exploration conditions of the Azero permit.
It was in 1965 that the Ministry of Gas Industry in Russia was founded, with the aim of taking over the exploration, extraction, transport and distribution of natural gas. In 1989 with the structural economic reforms of the country, the ministry was transformed into a state group called Gazprom which then became a state-owned company in 1993. It was Viktor Tchernomyrdin, the future head of the Russian government, who headed the group until 1992.
To carry out its various activities around the world, the Gazprom group can count on its various subsidiaries, including the companies Gazprom Neft, Gazprombank, Gazprom-Media, Gazprom Export, Mosenergo as well as a hundred other subsidiaries held all over the world.
