NOVATEK discovers North-Obskoye field

According to the statement, the drilling and testing results confirmed that a new natural gas and gas condensate field was discovered. NOVATEK claims that the North-Obskoye field has estimated reserves of over 320 billion m³ of natural gas under Russian reserve classification, and its total resources at the drilled well area are estimated at more than 900 billion m³ of natural gas. The reserves estimates will be submitted to the Russian State Reserves commission for confirmation in November 2018.

Leonid Mikhelson, Chairman of NOVATEK’s Management Board, said: “The discovery of significant hydrocarbon reserves at the North-Obskoye field is an important starting point for one of our future LNG projects in the Arctic region.

“Under the Russian reserve classification, the North-Obskoye field will be included into the ‘unique’ category in terms of reserves size. The favourable geographical location of the field, its huge resource base and our accumulated LNG experience are important prerequisites to successfully implement this new LNG project.”
