Background
In January 2002, the Gazprom Management Committee identified the Yamal Peninsula as a region of Gazprom’s strategic interest. Commercial development of Yamal fields will help build up local gas production to 250 bcm/y. Accessing Yamal is of principled significance for securing gas extraction growth.
The Gazprom core business units were tasked with bringing onstream in the 3rdQ of 2011 first 15 bcm/y upstream facilities for the Cenomanian-Aptian deposits of the Bovanenkovo field as well as 1,100-km-long Bovanenkovo – Ukhta gas main system.
Aiming to start up construction of the Bovanenkovo-Ukhta gas main system in 2008, construction work is underway on provisional housing and installations, townships with pertinent materials being stockpiled.
The Ob-Bovanenkovo railroad is partly commissioned. En-route construction and installation activates are progressing on schedule. Construction of linear part, bridges, distribution lines and communication facilities crossing the Yubiley River is in progress.
