Fields
Yamal Megaproject
The Yamal Peninsula is a strategic oil- and gasbearing region of Russia. Commercial development of fields onshore and offshore Yamal is crucial for securing Russia's gas production build-up beyond 2010.
Bovanenkovo
Projected gas production from Bovanenkovo is at 115 bcmpa to be increased to 140 bcmpa in the long-term. In order to deliver the extracted gas to the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia, it is necessary to build a 2,451-km-long gas transmission network including a new 1,100-km-long gas transmission corridor between Bovanenkovo and Ukhta.
Eastern Gas Program
The September 2007 Order by the Russian Federation Industry and Energy Ministry approved the state-run Development Program for an integrated gas production, transportation and supply system in Eastern Siberia and the Far East, taking into account potential gas exports to China and other Asia-Pacific countries (Eastern Gas Program). Gazprom was appointed by the Russian Federation Government as the Program execution coordinator.
Pursuant to the Eastern Gas Program it is planned to establish gas production centers in the Krasnoyarsk Krai, the Irkutsk Oblast, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Sakhalin Oblast and the Kamchatka Krai. The Program stipulates that simultaneously with gas production centers and the unified gas transmission system formation, gas processing and gas chemical industries will be developed including the capacities for helium and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production.
Sakhalin II
Sakhalin Energy recognises its responsibility to the communities and environment in which it works. Sakhalin Energy is working with communities, governments and independent experts, to achieve a balance between social, economic and environmental factors that will benefit all those who have a stake in the Sakhalin II Project: the Russian Federation, its people, Sakhalin II customers and shareholders.
Sakhalin III
The Sakhalin Island shelf is best prepared for gas production and supply to consumers in Russia’s Far East.
The Sakhalin III project will become one of the basic sources of gas supply. Gazprom holds licenses for three blocks within the project: Kirinsky, Ayashsky and Vostochno-Odoptinsky (licenses granted in 2009 pursuant to the Russian Federation Government Directive), and for the Kirinskoye gas and condensate field (license granted in 2008 pursuant to the Russian Federation Government Directive).
Algeria
Gazprom’s development strategy as of a global energy company is targeted at building the entire gas chain from hydrocarbon production to marketing on the new markets relying on the production capacities located beyond Russia.
Bolivia
In February 2007 Gazprom and the Bolivian state-owned petroleum company YPFB signed the Memorandum of Understanding. The Memorandum stipulates promoting cooperation in the Bolivian hydrocarbon exploration and development sector, exploring the possibility to join infrastructure projects including LNG production, as well as the possibility to upgrade qualifications and train oil and gas sector specialists.
Venezuela
Gazprom performs its activity in Venezuela within the Memorandum of Understanding signed with PdVSA in January 2005. The document envisages Gazprom's possible participation in joint oil and gas projects with PdVSA.
India
The Indian Oil and Gas Corporation (ONGC Group) is the largest state company in terms of hydrocarbon proven reserves and production. The Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) is the leading gas transmission and distribution company.
Libya
Project purpose and description: Search, exploration, production, and sales of hydrocarbons at licensed areas № 19 and № 64 and within concessions C96 and C97 in Libya.
Kyrgyzstan
Creation of a basis (resource base) for the operation of a Russian Kyrgyz joint venture that is being estab lished. Carrying out geologic exploration work at oil-and-gas promising areas Vostochny Maylisu IV and Kugart in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan.
Zapolyarnoye
On the 19th of december, the 3rd gas complex treatment unit (UKPG — 3S) was launched at the Senoman reservoir of the Zapolyarnoye oil and gas condensate field. At present, the UKPG-3S serves 24 wells producing 20 million cubic meters of natural gas per day. By the yearend, the UKPG-3S is expected to provide production of up to 200 million cubic meters of gas. In the first quarter of 2004, daily gas production will attain some 60 million cubic meters.
Prirazlomnoye Oil
The Prirazlomnoye oil field is located in the Barents Sea offshore. The license to explore and produce hydrocarbons in the field is owned by Sevmorneftegaz, a 100 per cent Gazprom subsidiary.
Uzbekistan
Project purpose and description: Search, exploration, and production of hydrocarbons in the Ustyurt region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. After completing its geologic exploration work, Gazprom (that holds licenses for the use of mineral resources valid for five years) enjoys exclusive right to negotiate with the Republic of Uzbekistan with regard to the development of the discovered fields based on Production sharing agreements.
Shtokman
The Shtokman gas and condensate field development project is of strategic significance for Gazprom. The field will become a resource base for Russian pipeline gas as well as liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to the Atlantic Basin markets.
Yuzhno-Russkoye
The Yuzhno-Russkoye field is an example of efficient Russian-German partnership aimed at providing stable energy security in Europe. The project execution based on asset swap and entire chain development from production to final consumer will strengthen Gazprom positions as a global player on the energy market.
Kamchatka
Considerable gas resources are found offshore Western Kamchatka. In June 2009 pursuant to the decision by the Russian Federation Government, Gazprom was granted the subsurface license for the Zapadno-Kamchatsky offshore prospect in the Sea of Okhotsk. Between 2009 and 2011 the offshore reserves increment is projected to average 200 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
Russian Continental Shelf
Vietnam
On May 23, 2008, Gazprom and Petrovietnam inked the Agreement for Further Cooperation. The Agreement provides for geological exploration and further development of four new blocks offshore Vietnam. The project will be operated by Vietgazprom Joint Operating Company.
Kazakhstan
Legal basis and participants: Agreement between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Kazakhstan on the demarcation of the seabed in the northern part of the Caspian Sea for the purpose of exercising sovereign rights to use mineral resources dated July 6, 1998 (the Agreement) and Protocol to the Agreement dated May 13, 2002, which established general principles for the demarcation of the seabed of the Caspian Sea and the development of the adjacent sea fields and geological structures including the geological structure Tsentralnaya.
