While America is threatening countries with economic sanction and bombardment, Russia is making friends and making deals.

Gazprom, (Russian: Газпром; long version: Открытое Aкционерное Oбщество Газпром; sometimes transcribed as Gasprom) is the largest Russian company. Gazprom is publicly traded as RTS:GAZP MICEX:GAZP LSE:OGZD; Russian: ОАО Газпром. Gazprom is the biggest extractor of natural gas in the world. With sales of US$31 billion in 2004, it accounts for about 93 percent of Russian natural gas production; with reserves of 28,800 km³, it controls 16 percent of the world's gas reserves (as of 2004, including the Shtokman field.) After acquisition of the oil company Sibneft, Gazprom, with 119 billion barrels (18,900,000,000 m³) of reserves, ranks behind only Saudi Arabia, with 263 billion barrels (41,800,000,000 m³), and Iran, with 133 billion barrels (21,100,000,000 m³), as the world's biggest owner of oil and oil equivalent in natural gas.

By the end of 2004 Gazprom was the sole gas supplier to at least Bosnia-Herzegovina, Estonia, Finland, Macedonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova and Slovakia, and provided 97 percent of Bulgaria's gas, 89 percent of Hungary's, 86 percent of Poland's, nearly three-quarters of the Czech Republic's, 67 percent of Turkey's, 65 percent of Austria's, about 40 percent of Romania's, 36 percent of Germany's, 27 percent of Italy's, and 25 percent of France's. The European Union as a whole gets about 25 percent of its gas supplies from this company.

TEHRAN, April 22 (RIA Novosti) - Tehran expects to sign an oil and gas cooperation agreement with Russian energy giant Gazprom in the near future, the republic's oil minister, Gholam-Hossein Nozari, said on Tuesday.
Nozari said negotiations were currently under way with Gazprom to develop several sites at the South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf and the North Azadegan oil deposit in the country's south.

"We hope these negotiations will be successfully concluded in the near future," Nozari said.

Gazprom has been participating in the development of the South Pars field's second and third stages together with France's TotalElf and Malaysia's Petronas. The facility is operating in design mode to produce and process 20 billion cu m of gas annually.
Iran's proven natural gas reserves total over 28 trillion cubic meters. In 2006, gas production in the republic was 105 billion cu m, with consumption standing at 105.1 billion cu m. Gas accounts for 53% of the country's energy balance, oil 44%, the hydropower industry 2% and coal 1%.

South Pars holds 60% of Iran's reserves, and 10% of known global reserves of natural gas. The deposit is a part of the North Dome deposit, the largest non-associated gas field in the world, situated in Qatar and Iran.

The North Azadegan field has reserves of about 33 billion barrels of crude.
