Output up at Yamal Peninsula’s biggest field

Natural gas production from Bovanenkovskoye field in northwestern Siberia reached a record-high 264 million cu m/day last year with the addition of two wells and two booster compressor stations, reports state-owned Gazprom, the operator.

Two production facilities are operational at the field, which Gazprom describes as the largest of 32 fields in the Yamal Peninsula.

Bovanenkovskoye production began in 2012. The company plans to bring another compressor station online this year.

A third production facility is under construction. It will allow production to reach design capacity of 115 billion cu m/year.

Gazprom is twinning a 1,260 km, 1.42-m OD pipeline between the field and Ukhta and a 970-km, 1.42-m OD pipeline between Ukhta and connections with existing systems at Torzhok.
