The Yuri S. Kuvykin field is a gas condensate field located in the northern part the Russian Sector of the Caspian Sea. The field is currently being developed by LUKOIL, and Ramboll studies will contribute in the pre-FEED (Front End Engineering Design) phase of establishing the first platforms in the Kuvykin field. When in production the field is expected to yield 4 BBm3 gas and 385 kt condensate per year.
The Kuvykin field is prone for strong ice conditions during winter months, and is rated as one of the Arctic Shelf regions. Because of the harsh weather conditions in the area, Ramboll will carry out winterization studies as part of the pre-FEED making sure that structures, machinery and safety are designed for the aggravating cold, which strikes temperatures down to minus 21 degree Celsius during winter months. Yu. S. Kuvykin is not only a high priority project for the leading Russian oil producer LUKOIL, who operates the field, but also of strategic importance to the Russian Federation, and is closely followed by the Russian Government.
