Wintershall Dea and Russia

Wintershall Dea has remained in Russia with its joint ventures almost a year after the war of aggression against Ukraine began, selling all gas and oil production to Gazprom. The company did not announce its withdrawal from Russia until January 2023. This briefing looks at the operations of Wintershall Dea's 2022 joint ventures in Russia. A particular focus is on an April 2023 investigation by Global Witness and Radio Free Europe that provides new evidence of possible supply chain links between the company's Siberian gas fields and the Russian military.
