Gazprom wins auction for Parusovy license
Gazprom has been declared the winner of an auction for the license to explore and develop the Parusovy prospect in
the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District (YaNAD).
The auction took place in the town of Salekhard.
The Parusovy prospect includes the homonymous oil and gas field and is part of a group of Parusovye fields. The group
is also comprised of the Severo-Parusovoye and Yuzhno-Parusovoye fields (with 364 bn cm of gas reserves) discovered
through prospecting activities by Yamburggazdobycha (a wholly owned subsidiary of Gazprom).
The group of Parusovye fields is located near existing infrastructure of the Yamburgskoye oil and gas condensate
field.
Comprehensive development of fields in the Ob and Taz Bays (including the Kamennomysskoye-Sea,
Severo-Kamennomysskoye, Obskoye fields with the recoverable reserves of 818 bn cm) and the Parusovye fields is of
strategic significance and will help Gazprom optimize development costs.
The Parusovy prospect has 46.6 bn cm and 1.2 mm tons of gas and oil reserves, respectively. In addition, the prospect
contains 240 mm tcm of promising hydrocarbon resources.
