Russian state gas firm OAO Gazprom plans to almost double the capacity of its underground gas storage capacity in Europe by 2015, the company said on Friday.

Gazprom deputy CEO Alexander Medvedev said in a statement that capacity in Europe will increase to 5 billion cubic meters by 2015 "to guarantee the security of Russian gas exports."

During the latest cold spell across Europe, Gazprom has been extracting gas from its European storage facilities at maximum levels of 38 million cubic meters a day.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with “drag and drop” capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.
