Gazprom and RusGazDobycha began production at Semakovskoye gas field in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area of Russia.
Semakovskoye field contains recoverable gas reserves of more than 320 billion cu m (bcm), Gazprom said in September 2020 upon construction completion of the field’s first production well. These reserves are concentrated in the waters of Taz Bay of the Kara Sea (OGJ Online, Sept. 2, 2020).
First phase development includes 19 wells with horizontal lengths up to 4,200 m, a 7.5-bcmy gas treatment plant, and a 122-km pipeline from the field to the Unified Gas Transmission System.
