NOVATEK-Tarkosaleneftegas, a wholly owned subsidiary of PAO NOVATEK, has started pilot production from gas condensate bearing layers of the North-Russkoye and East-Tazovskoye fields.
Together, they will have a total annual production capacity of 7.7 bill cu m of natural gas and 1 mill tonnes of gas condensate.
“Our production growth in the area of the unified gas supply system remains one of the key priorities of the company's strategy,” Leonid Mikhelson, NOVATEK’s Chairman of the Management Board, explained. “Natural gas produced in the North-Russkiy cluster is intended for the Russian domestic market, which has proved to be very stable, as compared to international markets in the recent months. Moreover, the additional volumes of gas condensate will ensure full utilisation of our processing facilities.”
