Spudding of the first producing well commenced today at the Kharasaveyskoye field of the Yamal gas production center.

Well No. 4051 with a projected depth of 2,540 meters is the first one in gas well cluster No. 5; the cluster will have 11 wells in total. This year, 16 wells are expected to be completely drilled.

It is particularly fitting that this important step in the development of the Kharasaveyskoye field was made on Russia Day.
