The proceeds will fund PetroNeft’s field development programme at its Russia-based licence 61 project, which is aiming to commence commercial oil output in the third quarter of 2010.
The initial phase of the programme involves developing the Lineynoye oil fields, with nine new production wells proposed for next year to match the two existing wells, development of a 70km pipeline and related field infrastructure.
The company has already acquired more than 90% of the required pipe, which has been stored at a river port north of licence 61.
This pipe will be used to develop a new export pipeline to the Imperial Energy facilities located at the Kiev-Eganskoye field in 2009/10.
