Gazprom discovered a new gas deposit at Leningradskoye field off the northwest coast of the Yamal peninsula, marking its fourth major discovery on the Yamal shelf in the Kara Sea over the last 2 years, the operator said Oct. 8.

Drilling and testing of an exploratory well showed commercial gas inflow with a flow rate of 600,000 cu m/d, proving substantial gas and increasing the field’s commercial value, Gazprom said.

Leningradskoye gas and condensate field lies within the Leningradsky licensed block. The field's current recoverable gas reserves are estimated at 1.9 trillion cu m.

In 2019, Gazprom discovered Dinkov and Nyarmeyskoye fields on the Yamal peninsula shelf (OGJ Online, May 20, 2019). This year, the company discovered 75 Years of Victory field on the shelf.

Dinkov, within the Rusanovsky licensed block, holds recoverable reserves in the C1+C2 (explored and estimated) categories of 390.7 billion cu m.

Nyarmeyskoye field, within the Nyarmeysky licensed block, holds recoverable gas reserves of 120.8 billion cu m in the С1+С2 categories.

Within the Skuratovskaya prospect, 75 Years of Victory field holds recoverable gas reserves in the С1+С2 categories of 202.4 billion cu m.
