Project Profile
Location: Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug region, Russia
Reserves: 198.2 bcm of natural gas and 21.1 mmt of liquid hydrocarbons proven reserves
Production: 12.7 bcm of natural gas and 984 thousand tonnes of liquid hydrocarbons per annum
Discovery: 1971
The East-Tarkosalinskoye oil and gas condensate field, in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug region, was discovered in 1971 and the license for its development is valid until 2043. The field began producing crude oil in 1994 and natural gas and gas condensate in 1998 and 2001, respectively. At the end of 2012, proved SEC reserves of the field were 198.2 bcm of natural gas and 21.1 mmt of liquid hydrocarbons. The East-Tarkosalinskoye field is the most mature field and further field development is focused on exploiting the field’s crude oil layers and increasing crude oil production.
Accordingly, the company launched the central oil treatment facility in 2012 and 18 crude oil wells were drilled as part of the field’s development activities. From the central treatment facility the crude oil is transported via our pipeline to the metering station of Transneft\'s oil pumping station and injected into the pipeline system operated by Transneft. There were 117 natural gas and 73 crude oil wells at the field at the end of 2012. Production at the field during 2012 totalled 12.7 bcm of natural gas and 984 thousand tonnes of liquid hydrocarbons.
