NOVATEK has been able to expand its resource base through geological exploration works at fields and license areas in close proximity to existing transportation and production infrastructure. The Company continues to efficiently develop its reserve base and increase the ultimate level of hydrocarbon recovery at its fields as a result of many years of operational experience in the YNAO and by utilizing state-of-the-art exploration and development technologies.
In 2012, NOVATEK achieved significant growth in its reserves due to successful exploration at the Company’s fields, ongoing production drilling, the inclusion of Salmanovskoye (Utrennee) and Geofizicheskoye fields acquired in 2011 into the reserve appraisal (the reserves of these two fields increased substantially in 2012 due do exploration works conducted during the year), as well as the acquisition of an equity stake in ZAO Nortgas, which holds the license for the North-Urengoyskoye field.
