Russia’s Gazprom: New large gas field – Semakovskoye – enters operation in Arctic

Russia’s Gazprom said on Tuesday it had started production at the Semakovskoye gas field in the Russian Arctic with gas being pumped into the country’s national supply system.

The new major gas production facility was created by Gazprom and RusGazDobycha in the extremely challenging conditions of the Far North and at a considerable distance from the existing infrastructure.

As part of the first phase of the Semakovskoye field pre-development, the following facilities and systems were built: a production well stock (consisting of 19 wells), a comprehensive gas treatment unit (CGTU) with an annual capacity of 7.5 billion cubic meters, and a gas pipeline stretching for 122 kilometers from the field to the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia.
