NOVATEK Developing New Oil Field in Yamalo-Nenets’ Tazovsky region

A complex multiple-well platform development project of NOVATEK’s Kharbey oil field has been approved by Chief State Expertise Center Omsk branch’s experts. The oil field is set to begin operations in 2021. Overall, 8 well sites, collection and transportation pipelines as well as terrastic pressure control system are planned to be installed on the field. In total, the field is planned to be equipped with 86 wells, including 4 gas, 19 gas condensate, 34 oil, and 29 key wells.

NOVATEK-Tarkosaleneftegaz is going to be the contractor and the funds provider.

The Kharbey oil and gas condensate field was discovered in 2015 in Tazovsky region of the Tyumen oblast in the Yamal-Nenets autonomous district and is a part of the Northern Russian licensing district.

The SLC Group has ample experience using its top drives on the NOVATEK’s oil fields, including in the Tazovsky region. Our partners – IGS-NEU and SSK – use our DQ50BQ-JH, DQ70BS-JH, and DQ70BSQ-JH top drives to build wells with depth of up to 5900 m. To ensure safe and non-stop top drive operation the SLC Group engineering crew provides 24/7 service support right on the drilling sites.
