In January 2018, Gazprom requested the Russian government to allow the company to sell its own gas on the St. Petersburg Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange (SPIMEX) without any restrictions. As reported in the news, Alexei Miller sent this letter to the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

Relations between Gazprom and Naftogaz

A special place in the activities of Alexei Miller as the head of Gazprom was occupied by relations with the Ukrainian Naftogaz. The “gas wars” between Russia and Ukraine continued for years, and the situation became especially difficult after the Euromaidan, when Kiev stopped paying for gas. Then Vladimir Putin said that Gazprom would “supply gas only in those volumes that would be paid for by the Ukrainian side a month in advance. How much they pay, so much they will receive.

On June 2, 2014, Alexey Miller announced that the price of blue fuel for Ukraine could drop below 385.5 US dollars per thousand cubic meters as a result of a discount provided by Gazprom.

On June 16, due to regular non-payments by Naftogaz Ukrainy, Gazprom introduced a prepayment regime for Ukraine for gas supplies. In addition, Gazprom filed a lawsuit against the government of Ukraine with the Stockholm Arbitration Court for a total amount of about $4.5 billion. Dmitry Medvedev, commenting on the news that Russia will supply gas to Ukraine only after pre-payment and repayment of all debts, wrote: "The freebie is over."

In July, Alexey Miller reported that Ukraine's total debt for fuel supplied by Gazprom had reached $5.29 billion. In total, 11.5 billion cubic meters of gas remain unpaid, which is comparable to the volume of annual Russian gas supplies to Poland.

“Ukraine’s unwillingness to pay for Russian gas in principle is becoming chronic and once again shows that the transfer to prepayment, stipulated by the terms of the contract, was the only right decision,” Miller emphasized.

On October 31, 2014, gas negotiations in the Russia-Ukraine-EU format were completed in Brussels. A tripartite agreement was signed, which fixed a plan for gas supplies in the winter. The first part was signed by the President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, Vice President of the European Commission Gunther Oettinger, Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak and head of the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine Yuri Prodan, the second document was signed by the heads of Gazprom and Naftogaz.

“We, the citizens of Europe, can say that gas supplies are secured this winter, we have achieved a breakthrough. Everyone benefited from this, especially the citizens of the EU. The transit function of Ukraine will continue to be carried out. Countries such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary will receive sufficient volumes of gas,” Günter Oettinger said.

The European Commissioner for Energy also confirmed the points reached earlier, in particular, about a $100 discount from the Russian Federation and about Ukraine's obligations to pay $3.1 billion of its debt. At the same time, until March 2015, the news reported, Ukraine could buy gas on an advance payment at a price of $385 per thousand cubic meters. meters of gas or below, according to the calculation formula. It was noted that the key issue of the talks on October 30 was the financial guarantees of the European Commission for payment by Kiev of Russian gas supplies.

In April 2015, Gazprom and Naftogaz signed an agreement on gas supplies in the second quarter of 2015.

In 2015, Gazprom filed a lawsuit against Naftogaz, demanding to recover from the company a fee for the shortfall in contractual gas volumes in 2012-2013, which it had to pay under the take-or-pay rule (“take or pay” - an annual payment minimum amount of fuel). Naftogaz, in turn, demanded a revision of pricing, which he considered not market-based. In 2012, the “square” received a discount of one hundred dollars per thousand cubic meters of gas in exchange for basing the Black Sea Fleet in the Crimea. But in 2014, after Crimea became part of the Russian Federation, the discount was canceled, and the price rose to $485 per thousand cubic meters. Naftogaz refused to pay at such a price and also applied to arbitration.

In autumn 2015, Russia again gave Ukraine a gas discount. According to the Deputy Head of the European Commission (EC) for the Energy Union Maros Shefcovic, in addition to the tripartite protocol, the "winter package" of documents included an additional contract between Gazprom and Naftogaz.

On November 18, 2015, the European Commission gave the green light to three gas pipelines from Southeast to Central Europe at once, which Gazprom can use to supply the Balkans with Turkish Stream gas. These projects allowed Gazprom to solve the problem of delivering gas to European consumers, while refusing gas transit through Ukraine.

Thus, Russia was going to secure itself from a gas crisis similar to the 2009 crisis, when Ukraine was stealing gas. The head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, made it clear that the Russian concern would not build “threads” in the EU in continuation of the Turkish Stream, and this should be taken care of by the Europeans themselves.

At the beginning of June 2016, Gazprom received an official letter from Naftogaz with a request to resume the supply of Russian fuel. Kiev was offered a price of $177 per thousand cubic meters, but Naftogaz considered it too high. Then Gazprom issued a preliminary bill to Kiev for gas.

On May 31, 2017, the Stockholm Arbitration Court issued an interim decision in a dispute between Gazprom and Naftogaz over a contract for the supply of gas to Ukraine.

On February 28, 2018, the Stockholm Arbitration Court published the decision on the transit claim of Naftogaz against Gazprom. It was ruled in favor of the Ukrainian company and ordered the Russian gas giant to pay Naftogaz $2.56 billion.

At the same time, Naftogaz demanded even more - $17 billion. Gazprom does not agree with the decision of the Stockholm arbitration, accusing it of violating the norms of Swedish law governing the contract with Naftogaz. Gazprom promised to protect its rights "by all means" that would not contradict the law.

After that, the management of Gazprom announced that it had returned the advance payment for March to Naftogaz and would not resume gas supplies. As a result, the Ukrainian authorities temporarily limited gas consumption in the country, but a day later the President Petro Poroshenko announced the start of fuel supplies from Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. As it turned out, this option turned out to be four times more expensive than the Russian proposal.

Commercial Director of Naftogaz Yuri Vitrenko said that Gazprom had underpaid his company about $20 billion since 2009 due to the fact that fuel transit tariffs were underestimated.

- A diligent student and a diligent employee, as he was seen in his youth and is seen now by acquaintances and friends. Coming from a simple family, he became one of the richest businessmen in Russia, standing at the helm of the main enterprise of the Russian oil and gas industry. We have prepared a special photo essay about notebooks, personal stallions, millions of US dollars and Alexey Miller's love for yachts.

A key role in the fate of Alexei Miller was played by his colleague on the Foreign Relations Committee (FAC) of the St. Petersburg City Hall. It was his direct supervisor in 1991, Vladimir Putin. After Putin became president of the Russian Federation in 2000, his former subordinate Miller moved to Moscow and took the post of Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation.

Here are entertaining excerpts from the article "Alexey Miller's School Notebooks", which was written by one of his classmates:

"My parents were ordinary people. Miller also did not come from aristocrats: his father was a fitter, his mother was an engineer. Both worked at the same enterprise - NPO Leninets, which still develops on-board equipment for aircraft. Alyosha's father died early from cancer, and his mother is still alive.He was the only child in the family.

This episode was told to me by Aleksey Borisovich's classmate Alla. Lesha Miller never skipped classes. One day the class gathered for an excursion to Pushkin. The head teacher said: "Take thermoses with you. But just in case a fireman, take notebooks too: the tour can be canceled and then you will study." Everyone came to the school with the same thermoses. Only two excellent students - Miller and Kibitkin brought, as was said, notebooks. When they announced that the tour would be cancelled, everyone fled out of the city together, but Kibitkin and Miller stayed behind. It seems that even in short pants he knew what he wanted ... "

"The overcautious Alexei Borisovich not only ran from floor to floor with papers and solved his career problems. He also helped Peter get loans. According to some analysts, a number of large Western companies - Coca-Cola, Wrigley, Gillette" and others took root on the banks of the Neva, in no small measure thanks to Miller, who, together with Putin, brought large Western banks such as Dresdener Bank and Lyon Credit to the city and generally played a key role in attracting foreign investment. Skeptics, it is true, reduce Putin's favorite to a cog in the nomenklatura's paperwork machine. Miller was not entrusted with serious topics - due to lack of experience. "" Arrogant, touchy, notorious. Uncomfortable in communication. Having become a big boss, he could make the Western delegation wait 30-40 minutes in his waiting room. At the same time, the manager is zero... The key color in the description is gray. He walked along the wall. "But the truth is that Miller stood at the origins of the creation of the first investment zones in the Pulkovo Heights area. He also represented the interests of the city in joint ventures and oversaw the hotel business - he was a member of the board of directors of the Europe Hotel.

Date of Birth. January 31, 1962

Origin. Alexey Miller was born in the city on the Neva, when it still bore the old name of Leningrad. His parents worked at a closed military factory. So Alexei has been able to keep military secrets since childhood. In addition, he grew up an obedient and executive person. These two qualities certainly determined his fate.

Education. Alexei received his secondary education at gymnasium No. 330 in St. Petersburg, which he graduated with honors in 1979. However, the graduate was not awarded a gold medal, because there were too many excellent students that year, and there was simply not enough “gold” for everyone.

Immediately after school, Miller enters the Leningrad Institute of Economics and Finance (LFEI) and five years later becomes a certified engineer-economist.

In 1989, having defended his dissertation at LFEI, the future millionaire received the title of Candidate of Economic Sciences.

In 1990, Alexei worked on the executive committee of the Leningrad City Council for economic reform. A year later, he moved to work in another Committee - on external relations of the city mayor's office (FAC). His immediate superior until 1996 was Vladimir Putin himself.

The businessman also heads the boards of directors of Gazprom's subsidiaries: Gazprombank, NPF Gazfond, IC SOGAZ and Gazpromneft (formerly Sibneft).

Hobbies. One of Alexei Miller's colleagues, who wished to remain incognito, called him a "careerist." It is logical to assume that the career is Miller's passion. However, classmates say that when he was Alex, he liked to play the guitar, run around the football field or cheer for Zenit.

According to the businessman himself, he still has a love for the guitar and Zenith, and besides, he is not averse to skiing or cycling.

Family. Alexey Miller and his wife Irina are raising their son Mikhail. The family lives in two houses - in St. Petersburg and in Moscow. Alexei does not talk about his personal life, and prefers to spend his free time in a quiet family circle.

Phrase. In one of his interviews, Alexey Miller compared business to something in between art and war.

What annoys him? Banquets, receptions, noisy companies. Although, perhaps this is due to kidney stones.

Advantages. Executive workaholic. Always achieves the goal, believes both in himself and in his partners.

Disadvantages. Does not like to "stick out", always remains as if in the shadows. Hidden.

Valuable advice. Dreaming is good! This is how the vision becomes reality.

Awards. At one time, Alexei Miller did not get a gold medal, but by the age of fifty he has many honorary titles, medals, orders. For strengthening friendship and international cooperation, he was awarded orders from the Republic of Armenia, Kazakhstan, South Ossetia, Vietnam, Italy. He is an honorary citizen of the city of Astrakhan. He has sacred titles and orders from the Russian Orthodox Church. Most recently, in February 2012, he received a certificate of honor from the hands of the President of the Russian Federation for his long conscientious work in the gas industry.

The role of natural gas for the stable development of the world economy in the long term cannot be overestimated. In the coming years, the importance of Gazprom, the largest transnational gas holding, will steadily grow, which will require its leadership to make many life-changing decisions in the full sense of the word. Fortunately, for more than 15 years the company has been headed by an experienced top manager, under whose leadership the company has won many victories - Alexey Borisovich Miller.

Each of Gazprom's successes receives worthy coverage in the press, but the person behind these achievements - his individual work path, managerial approach and outstanding personal qualities - sometimes remains in the shadows.

Meanwhile, Aleksey Borisovich Miller is one of those specialists who today are commonly called self-made men: having started his career in the status of a junior researcher, he subsequently took the post of head of the largest state monopoly.

AlexeyMillerwas born on January 31, 1962 in the city of Leningrad. In 1979, he entered the Leningrad Institute of Finance and Economics and five years later (in 1984) left the walls of the alma mater with a diploma in economics.

The first place of work for the future head of Gazprom was LenNIIproekt, now the largest research and design institute for housing and civil construction. In this research institute, he subsequently defended his Ph.D. thesis and worked as a junior researcher for about a year.

In 1990 AlexeyMillerwas invited to the Committee on Economic Reform of the Executive Committee of the Lensovet, and a year later he moved to the Committee on External Relations of the City Hall of St. Petersburg, where he worked until 1996 as deputy head and head of the department of foreign economic relations. The duties of the young economist included the development of the first investment zones in the city. In particular, he oversaw the investment zones Pulkovo (where the factories of Coca-Cola and Gillette were built) and Parnassus (where the complex of buildings of the Baltika brewing company was located). In addition, it is AlexMillerbrought the first foreign banks to St. Petersburg, such as Dresden Bank and Lyon Credit. He was also engaged in the hotel business - he was the chairman of the board of directors of the Europe Hotel.

In 1996 AlexeyMillermoved to work at JSC "Sea Port of St. Petersburg", where he took the chair of the Director for Development and Investments. Obvious managerial talent and the experience gained in previous positions allowed him to successfully continue his career as a manager.

In 1999Millerwas appointed General Director of the Baltic Pipeline System OJSC, and already in 2000 he became Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia.

According to the then press secretary of the Ministry, Oleg Smirnov, Miller coordinated all the international activities of the department. It was thanks to his efforts that the Ministry of Energy managed to establish cooperation with OPEC and, as a result, to maintain a fairly high price for oil on world markets.

The date of May 30, 2001 can be called fateful for the entire energy industry in Russia: it was on this day that Miller was elected Chairman of the Board of OAO Gazprom. In the same year, for the first time, he took the post of Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprombank - and entered the history of the company as a leader, under whose leadership a huge number of strategically significant projects were implemented.

Today PJSC Gazprom maintains close business ties with thousands of enterprises in Russia and abroad. In a special project of the portal "Business of Russia" – leading partner companies of the gas giant and its subsidiaries.

One of the strategic directions of development of PJSC Gazprom – improving the manufacturability of gas transmission networks, which means that its subsidiaries prioritize high technologies, the construction of new gas pipelines and the optimization of existing nodes. However, the most important task remains the same - it is a safe and uninterrupted supply of gas to the consumer. In the Republic of Tatarstan, this task is successfully solved by OOO Gazprom transgaz Kazan. Today, gas infrastructure is widely developed in the region, and the level of gasification is 99.37%.

Among the achievements of the company is participation in the unprecedented project for the country to create an innovative city "Innopolis", as well as a promising project for the reconstruction of the main gas pipeline Minnibayevo - Kazan. The construction of three new gas distribution stations, as well as the reconstruction of another GDS within the framework of this project, will provide an additional gas supply to Kazan in the amount of more than 3 billion cubic meters of gas per year, as well as gas supply to the Investment Technopolis "Smart City Kazan", the International Congress and Exhibition Center, the Center international trade, objects for holding the world championship in professional skills and a number of other strategic objects of the republic under construction.

The management and staff of Gazprom transgaz Kazan congratulates Aleksey Borisovich Miller, Chairman of the Board of PJSC Gazprom, on his 55th birthday!
