MOSCOW, July 2. /TASS/. Russian oil industry will become completely independent from foreign equipment by 2027 by placing orders on the territory the country, head of the Gazprom Neft company, Alexander Dyukov, said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to him, Russia's petroleum industry is now completely self-sufficient in terms of technology: the production of 1,200 out of 1,400 types of basic equipment has been mastered, with plans to bridge the deficit on the rest by 2027.
