Gazprom and the governmental commission for natural resources says the Shtokman field's C1 deposit holds 53,3 mm tons of gas condensate.
The estimated gas condensate reserves is enlarged by 71 % compared with earlier estimates, reports Gazprom. The increased estimates come after a new geological model of the reserves and a new data survey of that model.

From before it is known that C1 holds 3,8 tcm of gas.
The Shtokman Development AG participated at a meeting with Gazprom's vice-president of the board, Aleksandr Ananenkov, and other divisions of Gazprom where they discussed the realization of the Shtokman field regarding optimization of the technology to be used in the first phase. In particular, the questions related to transportation and storage of gas condensate was discussed, according to Gazprom.
