ExxonMobil said production has begun at the Sakhalin-1 project’s Arkutun-Dagi field.
The company said it is the last of the three fields to be developed, with peak daily production from the field expected to reach 90,000 barrels.
The field, located off the northeast cost of Sakhalin Island in the Russian Far East, will bring total production at Sakhalin-1 to more than 200,000 barrels.
The other two fields – Chayvo and Odoptu – began production in 2005 and 2010.
The production will be routed through the existing Chayvo onshore processing facility on Sakhalin Island and delivered through pipeline to the De-Kastri oil export terminal located in Khabarovski Krai.
