Giant Yamal field’s third phase starting

Gazprom is placing onstream the third production facility at giant Bovanenkovskoye gas and condensate field in the Yamal Peninsula of northwestern Siberia.

The facility will allow the field to produce as much as 115 billion cu m/year (OGJ Online, Mar. 2, 2017).

Initial production is from Cenomanian-Aptian deposits. Gazprom expects later development of Neocomian-Jurassic reservoirs to allow production to reach 140 billion cu m/year.

A loop of the 1,260-km, 1.42-m OD pipeline between Bovanenkovskoye and Ukhta is in operation. And a loop of the 970-km, 1.42-m OD pipeline between Ukhta and a tie-in with existing systems at Torzhok is to be complete year.
