Gazprom, Russiaâs natural gas export monopoly, said 2006 profit doubled, to a record $22.6 billion, beating estimates, as it sold more fuel at higher prices. Net income surged 97 percent, to 613.3 billion rubles, from 311.1 billion rubles a year earlier, the state-run company said. The profit equals $22.6 billion at the average ruble rate for the period and is 8.2 percent higher than the median estimate of six analysts in a Bloomberg survey. Rising prices in Europe, where Gazprom has a quarter of the market, and increased shipments to former Soviet nations drove the gain in earnings, the highest ever reported by a Russian company. Gazprom, based in Moscow, relies entirely on exports for profit because it loses money on sales in Russia, where prices are capped.
