The Gazprom Management Committee considered the underground gas storage (UGS) system development in Russia.

With a view to further UGS system development, the Management Committee approved the 2011 Action Plan for facilities construction, retrofitting and commissioning as well as the terms of reference for the underground gas storage system development until 2015.

Gazprom will retrofit and expand some of the existing UGS facilities, particularly Kasimovskoye, Kushchevskoye, Punginskoye, Sovkhoznoye and Stepnovskoye, simultaneously with ongoing construction and commissioning of the Udmurtia reserving complex, the Kaliningrad and Volgograd UGS facilities. Moreover, it is planned to begin constructing the Bednodemyanovskoye, Novomoskovskoye and Shatrovskoye UGS facilities along with gas storages in the Republic of Tatarstan.

Specialized subdivisions and subsidiaries were tasked to ensure the Action Plan execution.
