Development of oil and gas fields

«Gazstroyprom» is developing oil and gas fields in the most remote corners of Russia.

Large-scale and strategically important facilities have already been built in the snowy Yamal, as well as in the Yakutsk and Irkutsk gas production centers, near the Sea of Okhotsk. But the work continues. Here are the key projects that GSP specialists are working on today.

Kovyktinskoye field

the largest field in Eastern Russia

Kovyktinskoye field

The field was discovered in 1987 in the Zhigalovsky and Kazachinsko-Lensky districts of the Irkutsk region. Gazprom obtained the license for its development in 2011. Gas production began in 2022.

By the size of its recoverable reserves, it is classified as a unique field.

Chayandinskoye field

The resource base of the main gas pipeline "Power of Siberia"

Chayandinskoye field

The field is located in the Lensky District of Yakutia. It was discovered in 1983, but full-scale geological exploration was carried out only a quarter of a century later.

In terms of the size of the recoverable reserves, it belongs to the unique category.

Chayandinskoye field

Chayandinskoye field At Chayanda, they produce not only gas but also oil.

Since 2014, crude oil from the oil rims has been supplied to the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean (ESPO) pipeline. The first gas production facility was commissioned in 2019, simultaneously with the launch of the Power of Siberia trunk gas pipeline. Today, well drilling and the construction of booster compressor stations continue at the field.

Chayandinskoye field Today, the field is the base for the formation of the Yakutsk gas production center.

Chayandinskoye gas has an interesting feature: it contains a high concentration of helium. To extract it, a gas processing plant bearing the same name was built in the neighboring Amur Region. It is scheduled to reach its full design capacity in 2025.

Urengoyskoye field

The largest field in the world at the time of its discovery

Urengoyskoye field

The Urengoyskoye field is a pioneer of Russian gas production. It was discovered in 1966, becoming one of the first in Western Siberia. In 1984, “blue fuel” was exported for the first time via the Urengoy – Pomary – Uzhhorod trunk gas pipeline.

By the size of its recoverable reserves, it is classified as a unique field.

In the mid-2000s, development began on the more challenging Achimov deposits in Urengoy. The planned production level after reaching full capacity is 37 billion cubic meters of gas per year.

In 2024, GSP completed the construction of the deethanization unit (UDK-1) at the Urengoy Condensate Preparation and Transportation Plant (ZPKT).

It includes four processing lines with a capacity of 767 thousand tons of feedstock per year. The applied solutions make it possible to process gas condensate of varying composition from the Valanginian and deep-lying Achimov deposits in any proportion.

Gazstroyprom is currently continuing the development of gas condensate wells at the Urengoy oil, gas, and condensate field, as well as carrying out the reconstruction of the gathering system for fields in the Nadym-Pur-Taz region and the trunk gas pipelines along the Urengoy – Peregrebnoye – Ukhta section.

Bovanenkovskoy field

The main field of the Yamal Gas Production Center

Bovanenkovskoy field

The Bovanenkovo oil, gas, and condensate field was discovered in 1971. It is named after the legendary Soviet geophysicist Vadim Bovanenko. The field ranks among the world’s top five in terms of initial gas reserves (4.9 trillion cubic meters). Today, it serves as the foundation of the Yamal gas production center, whose reserves will last for more than 100 years.

By the size of its recoverable reserves, it is classified as a unique field.

Large-scale construction work began in the mid-2000s. By the time gas production started in 2012, the field was already equipped with major transport infrastructure: Bovanenkovo Airport and a railway extending from the Obskaya station near Salekhard, featuring a unique bridge across the Yuribey River — the longest bridge in the Arctic, stretching 3.9 kilometers.

In the future, this figure will increase to 140 billion cubic meters due to the development of deeper Neocomian-Jurassic deposits.

In 2026, Gazstroyprom plans to complete the construction of a gas treatment and processing complex (KPPG) at the Bovanenkovo field.

Kharasaveyskoye field

The second largest field of the Yamal gas production center, partially located in the waters of the Kara Sea

Kharasaveyskoye field

The Kharasaveyskoye gas and condensate field is located north of the Bovanenkovo field and extends partially onto the Kara Sea shelf. It was discovered in 1974, but development began only 45 years later — in 2019.

By the size of its recoverable reserves, it is classified as a unique field.

In a short time, GSP employees built a rotational residential complex and an in-house power plant on the Yamal shore.

Construction is currently ongoing at the field, including a gas treatment unit and a booster compressor station, well pads for production gas wells, development of road and power infrastructure, as well as the laying of a pipeline to the Bovanenkovo oil, gas, and condensate field, through which the produced gas will be supplied to the Bovanenkovo – Ukhta trunk gas pipeline.
