The Kharasaveyskoye and the Kruzenshternskoye are located near the Bovanenkovo field on the western side of the peninsula and can easily be connected with existing infrastructure.
Gazprom is also preparing for the development of two more regional fields, the Nilivoyskoye and the Seyakhinskoye. In these two fields, Gazprom Neft will be the operator company, Menshikov confirms.
Gazprom has Yamal as its top priority area. Major sums are currently being invested in the Bovanenko project, which holds almost five trillion cubic meters of gas. A west-bound pipeline is under construction and a new railway is linking the field with the national railway grid.
