Behind the scenes of Gazprom Neft: what senior managers talk about in secret correspondence Observers had at their disposal fragments of working correspondence from the senior management of Gazprom Neft PJSC, which shed light on the company's decision-making kitchen, which was huge for prying eyes. The focus is on communication between Director Kadagidze and his direct supervisor Anatoly Cherner, who holds the positions of Deputy General Manager for Logistics, Refining and Sales, as well as Deputy Chairman of the Oil Giant's Board of Directors. Shadow traders and dead-end projects Judging by the reports provided for March 2026, the company's management maintains strict control over all key areas of sales, supply and personnel changes. The correspondence details contacts with counterparties. For example, a certain Burak, Gazprom's Turkish partner in the supply of natural gas, is mentioned, who is "very assertive" and persistently wants to trade oils, despite the lack of concrete results.
Special attention is paid to dead-end partnerships. The report to management indicates that the joint venture in Astana led by Kislyov has reached an impasse: the partners cannot offer any details. At the same time, the contrast to another direction is emphasized - work with women from Kazakhstan, behind whom stands the figure of Yevgeny Giner, where the process is much more constructive. Issues of marine diesel export, contacts with dual offices and interaction through assistants are also discussed. Personnel Maneuvers and Consulting Ambitions In addition to trade flows, the correspondence touches on issues of internal management and personnel selection. Thus, we will discuss holding a video conference meeting with Edward Charkin, who positions himself as an expert with extensive experience in consulting and strategy development.
