Bernard Controls, electric actuation specialist, is now a Gazprom-approved supplier and enters the restricted vendor list of this Russian key player in the world Oil & Gas industry. The STX-SQX Electric Actuators models produced by Bernard Controls successfully passed the test to be in accordance with the Gazprom standard. This approval allows Bernard Controls explosion-proof electric actuators to be installed on any pipeline of the gas transport facilities of Gazprom JSC. Gazprom is a global energy company, which holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves. Its major business lines are geological exploration, production, transportation, storage, processing and sales of gas, gas condensate and oil, as well as generation and marketing of heat and electric power. Therefore, being part of Gazprom’s vendor list represents a key step for Bernard Controls’ involvement in Russian and international gas projects.
