    FACTS & FIGURES RUSSIA LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT AND EFFICIENT PARTNERSHIP VersorgungssicherheitSecuring supplies by engaging durch Engagement direktdirectly an at der the Quelle source Russia is among the world’s most richly endowed countries when it comes to natural resources: about one fifth of all known natural gas reserves are situated in Russia. The country therefore has the largest gas reserves worldwide. Russia also lies in sixth place in the world oil rankings with more than 105 billion barrels of proven oil reserves*. Russia is the biggest supplier of natural gas to the European Union. For Wintershall Dea, Europe’s leading independent natural gas and crude oil producer, Russia is the key core region in its portfolio and the region with the largest planned increase in production. Wintershall Dea is currently involved in several joint projects concerned with the exploration and production of hydrocarbons in Western Siberia and southern Russia. Together with our Russian partners, we are focusing on stable and long- term collaboration. Thanks to our ongoing exchange of experience and know-how a model of partnership has emerged that has been supplying Europe with energy for nearly 30 years. * BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2019 Factsheet Wintershall Dea March 2020 01 Successful collaboration in exploration & production Achimgaz, a joint venture between the Gazprom subsidiary Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy (50 per cent) and Wintershall Dea (50 per cent), celebrated its 15th anniversary in September 2018.
