Production | Yurkharovskoye | East-Tarkosalinskoye | Khancheyskoye | Other fields
Discovered in 1990, the Khancheyskoye field is 65 kilometers east of East-Tarkosalinskoye and is licensed to our wholly-owned subsidiary OOO NOVATEK-TARKOSALENEFTEGAS. The license was reissued in May 2005, when OOO NOVATEK-TARKOSALENEFTEGAS merged with our wholly-owned subsidiary OOO Khancheyneftegas in order to take advantage of the fields close proximity to improve operating efficiencies and enhance economies of scale.
The Khancheyskoye field has been producing natural gas and gas condensate since 2003 and 2002, respectively. As a result of further exploration activities at the Khancheysky license area in 2007, we successfully discovered three new gas condensate horizons, conducted 3D seismic prospecting to clarify the geological structure of the field’s southern part and set up exploratory drilling. In 2007, we increased production by 28% year-on-year after the successful commissioning of the second phase development at the gas condensate field.
