Mr. Ananekov, the deputy chairman of Gazprom’s Management Committee, inspected the construction yard of the Sevmash company where the Prirazlomnaya platform is under construction, as well as the yard in neighbouring company Zvezdochka where the “Arkticheskaya” rig is being built.
-The platform Prirazlomanya is unique in terms of its size and weight, said Ananenkov, Rosbaltnord.ru reports. – It is a complete oil-extracting industry on its own, he added. The use of this platform in the Prirazlomnoe oil field in the Pechora Sea is expected to open the way for extended exploitation of the Russian shelf
The platform is designed to work for 50 years
The development of the Shtokman, Prirazlomnoe, Dolginskoe and Kamennomysskoe-More fields will mark the start of a large-scale expansion in the Arctic, Gazprom writes in a press release
