On 2 June 2017, at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, Gazprom and the Government of St Petersburg signed an agreement establishing the high-technology Cluster for ocean and Arctic resource development. The agreement was signed by Gazprom Chairman Alexey Miller and St Petersburg Governor Georgy Poltavchenko.
The agreement laid a foundation for cooperation among Russian industrial enterprises, engineering firms and research institutions in the development of high-technology products.
The Cluster has since broadened its practical focus to equipment, materials, services and technology for both onshore and offshore oil and gas operations.
