The Samburskoye field is a gas field in western Siberia. The field is in the autonomous district of Yamal-Nenets and will initially produce 43,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The initial agreement was to be operated by SeverEnergia.. SeverEnergia is a joint venture between Eni (30%, Novatek (25.5%), Gazpromneft (25.5%) and Enel (19%). Produced gas will be sold to Gazprom, with Eni retaining the buy back and marketing rights on the Russian domestic market. Condensates will be exported.
Samburskoye is one of a quartet of fields originally owned the now-defunct oil company Yukos. Purchased by Eni and Enel in 2007 at a Yukos liquidation auction, Gazprom bought a 51% stake in the fields which it later sold to Novatek and Gazpromneft.
