The DzhubgaLazarevskoyeSochi (DLS) pipeline project is included in the

159,5 km, the DLS gas pipeline is installed on the seabed, along the shoreline (at

importance for the economical development of the Sochi region, Gabriel
Comanescu, President of Upetrom Group, was invited to answer a series of
questions addressed by the Gazprom corporate magazine editor. This interview
was published in the December issue in the partners section. We present the
interview here:
MR. Gabriel Comanescu, the President of Upetrom Group, answered the
questions asked by our journal.
Mr. Comanescu, Upetrom Group was established in 1991. What are the
companies that currently make up your corporation? What is their activity profile?

Upetrom Group is made up of two major companies: Grup Servicii Petroliere (GSP) and
Upetrom - 1 Mai. GSP is specialized in areas such as offshore construction, offshore drilling,
offshore transport, hydro-technical engineering, well intervention services, subsea
engineering inspection (using remotely operated vehicles ROVs and SAT diving
equipment), as well as design and training
The company GSP was established in 2004. What are the projects carried out for
the past six years that you would mention as most noteworthy?

Five years ago, GSP had only 200 employees and operated six offshore drilling rigs. Today
it employs more than 1.5 thousand people, owns and operates five offshore jack-up rigs, one
modular drilling rig, ten multi-task vessels, three barges (pipe-laying crane barge, heavy lift
submersible barge, as well as accommodation and working barges), two offshore cranes
(one of which has a power of 1.8 tons). It also uses ROVs and SAT diving devices. Most of
these rigs, by their parameters, are unique in the Black Sea.
GSP`s strategy envisaged from the beginnings providing integrated services
for offshore oil and gas industry with a focus on activities of interest to the
most dynamic global markets.

The early stage limits of the activities on the regional market in offshore oil and
gas industry are risk factors. Our activities are not restricted to one market: we rely
not only on the regional demand. This kind of strategy would lead to business
suffocation in the region! GSP is now a global service provider operating
worldwide from the Gulf of Mexico to Sakhalin; development decisions are based
on the three main areas ", said Gabriel Comanescu, GSP President, for Curierul
GSP.
