Project Profile

Project value: US$2.37 billion
Location: northern part of the Caspian Sea, Russia
Reserves: Category 1+2 oil recoverable reserves around 153.1 million tonnes and category 1+C2 gas reserves come to 32.2 billion cubic metres
Production: 150,000 bpd (2015)
Length:  330 km of sub-sea and 350 km of onshore pipelines
Water depth: 7 - 11 metres
Start-up Year: October 2016

LUKoil successfully brought the Filanovsky field on stream in September 2016 with the completion of two production wells with a combined output of 30,000 barrels per day. An average of 95,000 bpd of oil will flow from the Filanovsky field in the fourth quarter of 2016. Output will then average 100,000 bpd in 2017. It will eventually peak at 150,000 bpd. The field contained an estimated 290 million barrels of proven oil reserves and 567 million barrels in 3P reserves at the end of 2015.

The construction project for the V. Filanovsky field requires the laying of over 330 km of sub-sea and 350 km of onshore pipelines, as well as the construction of head onshore facilities (HOF) for the intake of oil with a tank battery of 80,000 cubic metres in the Republic of Kalmykia. The oil will be transported from the HOF to the Caspian pipeline consortium\'s oil pipeline. LUKOIL discovered the V. Filanovsky field in 2005. 153.1 million tons, and category 1+C2 gas reserves come to 32.2 billion cubic metres.
