Gazprom PJSC (GAZP.RS) said Thursday that it plans on spending 217.50 billion rubles ($3.19 billion) more than originally set-out for 2018 as it increases investment into liquid natural gas as well as in gas-transmission projects.

The Russian state-owned oil company said its management committee approved a revised RUB1.496 trillion draft investment plan that raised spending compared with the version approved in December 2017.

The difference is attributable to increased investment in the development of a gas transmission system in Northwestern Russia and the construction of an LNG production, storage and shipment complex near the Portovaya compressor station, the company said.

The revised draft of the investment program will be submitted to the board of directors, the company said.
