Novatek-Tarkosaleneftegas has started commercial production at South-Khadyryakhinskoye natural gas field in the Purovsky district of Russia’s Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region.

Capacity is 1 billion cu m/year, according to parent company Novatek.

The field is in the South-Khadyryakhinskiy license area near Novatek’s North-Khancheyskoye field.
