EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the heart of Gazprom, Russia's leading natural gas company. The computerized dispatch control room is a hub of technological marvels, where an industrious female manager oversees the intricate network of pipes that distribute natural gas from Russia into Europe's vast oil and gas pipelines. The focal point of this image is a large screen displaying Gazprom's extensive pipeline system stretching across Europe. With its main reserves located in Siberia, the Urals, and the Volga region, Gazprom has rightfully earned its title as the world's largest extractor of natural gas. In fact, it supplies approximately a quarter of the European Union's natural gas needs. Adding to the room's dynamic atmosphere are three clocks hanging on one side, indicating different time zones. This serves as a reminder that Gazprom operates around-the-clock to ensure seamless energy distribution throughout multiple regions. As we delve deeper into this photograph taken in 2006, we witness how human ingenuity and cutting-edge technology intertwine to control such immense power. The Caucasian woman at work exemplifies expertise and dedication in managing this complex operation. With over 150,000 kilometers of pipes making up their extensive network – making it the longest in existence – Gazprom stands as an emblematic force within both Russian industry and global energy markets. This snapshot captures not only a moment frozen in time but also represents an era defined by fossil fuels' dominance during the early years of the 21st century.
