Thirty-seven gas condensate wells have been drilled at the Yaro-Yakhinskoye field.
Production on the field was launched today and is expected to reach a production level equal to 7.7 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas and 1.3 million tons of de-ethanized gas condensate a year over the next months.
It is the third field operated by a joint venture between Novatek and GazpromNeft.
Its infrastructure includes a gas gathering network, a gas treatment unit and a a gas condensate de-ethanization unit.
Leonid V. Mikhelson, chairman of the management board at Novatek, said: “We have managed to launch three large gas condensate fields with an overall production capacity of seven million tons of gas condensate and 28 bcm of natural gas per annum.
“That exceeds 25% of Russia’s gas condensate production and 4% of natural gas production in 2014.”
