Lukoil Updates on West Siberia Field

Lukoil says it has produced more than 0.4bn m³ gas at its Pyakyakhinskoye field in western Siberia since the start of gas production in January 2017.

The Russian independent producer said its total accumulated oil and gas-condensate production at the field, one of the largest in Russia's Yamal-Nenets region, has exceeded 600,000 metric tons (4.38mn bbls) since the launch of commercial production there in October 2016.

The current daily production of natural gas and associated petroleum gas at the field exceeds 9mn m³, while that of oil and gas condensate exceeds 4,000 mt, Lukoil added, noting this is from currently 25 gas and 54 oil producing wells. Marketable gas is transported via a gas trunk line to a gas compressor station near Nakhodkinskoye field, and thence, by pipe to the Yamburgskaya compressor station.

When it launched production in October, Lukoil said it planned first gas production from Pyakyakhinskoye in late 2016 and that the field was planned to produce 1.5mn mt of crude oil and gas condensate and 3bn m³ of gas in 2017.
