Gazprom Hits Natural Gas at Kara Sea Offshore Russia

Hart Energy Staff. Fri, 10/09/2020

Russia’s Gazprom said Oct. 8 it made a commercial gas discovery in the Kara Sea offshore Russia, marking its fourth major find in the area the last two years, according to a news release.

The company said commercial gas inflow was obtained with a flow rate of about 600,000 cubic meters per day. The discovery was made on the shelf of the Yamal Peninsula at the Leningradskoye Field in the Kara Sea.

Gazprom said it will present the findings to the State Reserves Commission to record them in the state register.

The Leningradskoye gas and condensate field is located the Leningradsky license block. Its current recoverable gas reserves are estimated at about 1.9 trillion cubic meters, Gazprom said in the release.

Gazprom and Wintershall Dea begin production from Block 5А in Achimov formations of Urengoyskoye field as part of comprehensive testing

Achim Development, a joint venture of Gazprom and Wintershall Dea, started gas and gas condensate production from Block 5А in the Achimov formations of the Urengoyskoye field within the framework of comprehensive testing (hot commissioning) of the project equipment.

Earlier in January 2021, hydrocarbon production began at Block 4А in the Achimov formations of the Urengoyskoye field.

Currently, both blocks – 4А and 5А – are in the phase of comprehensive testing, and gas is being fed into Gazprom’s gas transmission system.

The pre-development of the blocks is performed under harsh natural and climatic conditions and in complex geological structures. The hydrocarbons lie at a depth of about 4,000 meters with abnormally high formation pressures (up to 62 MPa).

Upon the completion of the comprehensive testing, production will be gradually ramped up to reach its design capacity by 2027. The production will amount to over 14 billion cubic meters of natural gas and over 5 million tons of gas condensate.

L'Union européenne a réduit sa dépendance vis-à-vis des livraisons de gaz russe de 50 %, mais des économies seront nécessaires pour combler la différence avec des approvisionnements alternatifs.

C'est ce qu'a déclaré cette semaine le haut représentant de l'UE pour les affaires étrangères et la politique de sécurité, Josep Borrell, dans un billet de blog .
