Gazprom has begun full-scale development of Kharasaveyskoye gas and condensate field on Russia’s Yamal Peninsula (OGJ Online, July 23, 2018).
It said production will start in 2023 at 32 billion cu m/year from Cenomanian-Aptian deposits. Later production will come from deeper Necomian-Jurassic strata.
Wells drilled directionally from onshore will develop a part of the field below the Kara Sea.
Drilling of production wells will begin in June 2020. Development will include drilling of 236 gas-production wells and construction of a gas treatment plant, a booster compression station, and transport and power infrastructure.
A new, 106-km pipeline will connect Kharasaveyskoye with Bovanenkovskoye field to the south.
Gazprom estimates Kharasaveyskoye reserves at 2 trillion cu m.
