The field will produce around 6.6 million cubic metres of gas and 20,000 barrels of condensate per day. "We are delighted with the start-up of Termokarstovoye, the first project executed together with our strategic partner in Russia Novatek, with whom we are also jointly developing the Yamal LNG project," said Michael Borrell, Total's Senior Vice President for Exploration and Production in Europe and Central Asia. "Achieved ahead of schedule and below budget, Termokarstovoye, the fourth start-up since the beginning of the year, will contribute to Total's production growth in 2015."
