Gazprom plans development of kharasaveyskoye field next year

Russian gas firm Gazprom is planning to undertake the full-scale development of the Kharasaveyskoye field located north of Bovanenkovskoye in the Yamal Peninsula, at the start of next year. The majority of the field is onshore in the peninsula, with some offshore portion located in the basin of the Kara Sea. The field has gas reserves of around two trillion cubic metres. Gazprom will initially focus on the field’s Cenomanian-Aptian deposits in order to commence gas production in 2023 at a design capacity of 32 billion cubic metres a year. Thereafter, the company will carry out the development of the deeper-lying Neocomian-Jurassic deposits. Officials representing the company participated in a meeting on the pre-development project for the Kharasaveyskoye gas and condensate field, in addition to the gas transmission system. As part of the pre-development project, the company will build a gas treatment unit, a booster compressor station, clusters of producing gas wells, as well as transport and power infrastructure. The company considers the Yamal Peninsula as strategically important to the Russian gas industry and the reliability of gas supplies to consumers. A major new gas production centre in the Yamal Peninsula is set to replace the dwindling reserves of the Nadym-Pur-Taz region. Gazprom management committee chairman Alexey Miller said: “The development of the Yamal gas production centre is an ambitious strategic goal of national importance. The centre is key and essential to the domestic gas industry in the 21st century. “It offers a new frame of reference for gas flows in Russia and export markets. Bringing Bovanenkovskoye to its full capacity, exploring Kharasaveyskoye and later, the other Yamal-based fields, and expanding the northern gas transmission corridor are all crucial activities for the company.” The major contributor to the Yamal centre is the Bovanenkovskoye field, where two gas production facilities are currently operating. The company will launch the third gas production facility later this year, which is expected to bring the field to a design production capacity of 115 billion cubic metres of gas a year.
