The Pestsovaya area of the Urengoyskoye field has been brought to its full capacity of 27.5 bcm of gas per annum. The work was completed according to schedule.

“Over the past 5 years Gazprom has brought into operation the Zapolyarnoye, Vyngayakhinskoye, Yen-Yakhinskoye, Yety-Purovskoye fields as well as the Tab-Yakhinsky prospect of the Urengoyskoye field and Aneryakhinskaya area of the Yamburgskoye field. Now we have the Pestsovaya area fully operational. The total design capacity of these fields and prospects averages 170 bcm of gas per year.

Bringing Pestsovaya to its full capacity is another contribution of Gazprom in maintaining gas production growth in Russia and reinforcing the national energy security,” said Alexander Ananenkov, Deputy Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee.
