Gazprom Extended the License for the Chayandinskoye Field for 176 Years
PJSC Gazprom extended the license for the Chayandinsky hydrocarbon site in Yakutia. The relevant information has been published in the state register of subsoil areas and licenses.
According to the changes made, the company will manage the field until the end of 2204. Previously, the license for the Chayandinsky site was valid until August 25, 2028.
This is not the only “long-lived license” on the balance sheet of Gazprom enterprises. The absolute record holder is the Orenburgsky-2 section of the Gazprom Dobycha Orenburg company: the license for it was issued until the end of 2299. Also, until the end of the 23rd century, licenses for the North Vasyugansky (until the end of 2267, Gazprom Dobycha Tomsk) and Astrakhansky Levoberezhny (until the end of 2222, Gazprom Dobycha Astrakhan) areas were extended.
The rights of Gazprom structures to another 10 sites may expire in the 22nd century: Kazansky (Tomsk region, 2100), Ostaninsky (Tomsk region, 2131), Rybalny (Tomsk region, 2122), Kharasaveysky and Kharasavey-Sea (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and Kara Sea, 2130), Zapolyarny (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, 2114), Kshuksky (Kamchatka, 2172), West-Tarkosalinsky (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, 2116), as well as on the South Kuzbass a group of sites (Kemerovo region, 2179) and the Left Bank part of the Astrakhan field (Astrakhan region, 2130).
The Chayandinskoye oil and gas condensate field is one of the largest in eastern Russia. It is the base for the formation of the Yakut gas production center and the resource base for the Power of Siberia gas pipeline (along with the Kovykta field in the Irkutsk region). The gas part of the field is being developed by Gazprom Dobycha Noyabrsk. Oil production is carried out by Gazpromneft-Zapolyarye. The field’s recoverable reserves amount to 1.2 trillion cubic meters of gas and 61.6 million tons of oil.
