The publication notes that Gazprom has already reached a net profit of almost USD 12 billion in the first half of 2024.
The Amur Gas and Chemical Complex, a joint venture between Russia’s Sibur Holding and China’s Sinopec, is in second place in the Russian Forbes rating.
The start of production at the facility was postponed to 2027 due to Western sanctions on equipment supplies.
