Pilot drilling at this licence block is slated for the 2017-18 winter season.
Gazprom Neft first deputy CEO Vadim Yakovlev said: “Gazprom Neft is continuing its ongoing development of what is a key region for the company, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
“It was here that we commissioned two of the most significant fields, Novoportovskoye and Vostochno-Messoyakhskoye, in 2016.
“Concurrently with this Gazprom Neft is, thanks to the implementation of cutting-edge technologies, continuing to increase production at traditional fields in the Noyabrsk region.
“The development of gas-cap-drive fields at Tazovskoye field, and the Achimov deposits at Severo-Samburgskoye field are giving the company further experience in hard-to-recover reserves, allowing us to scale-up solutions successfully implemented previously.”
Gazprom is engaged in the exploration and development, production and sale of oil and gas, and the refining and retailing of oil products.
