A new gas deposit was discovered at the Leningradskoye field of the Yamalsky gas production center.

As a result of drilling and testing of an exploration well, commercial gas inflow was obtained with a flow rate of about 600,000 cubic meters per day. This proves that the new deposit contains substantial amounts of gas. This significantly increases the field’s commercial value.
Thus, Gazprom made its fourth major discovery offshore on the shelf of the Yamal Peninsula in the Kara Sea over the last two years.
