Gazprom ready to get big on offshore

Publish date: May 11, 2006

According to Vasily Podyuk, head of Gazprom's Department on extraction of gas, gas condensate and oil, Gazprom will extract a total of 186,6 billion cubic meter of gas annually from offshore fields by 2030.

In year 2030, Gazprom will have as much as 17,1 trillion cubic meter of gas reserves on the shelf, Podyuk believes. According to him, gas accounts for about 80 percent of all Russian offshore hydrocarbons, and that most of it is located in the Barents Sea and in the Kara Sea.

Until 2010, the Western Siberia, Timano-Pechora province and the Caspian area will be the company’s main exploration regions. From 2011-2020, the main areas will be the Arctic shelf, the Okhotsk Sea, the Krasnoyarsk region, Irkutsk Oblast, Sakha-Yakutia and Sakhalin, BarentsObserver reports. In the longer perspective, the Arctic parts of Western Siberia, the Eastern Siberia and the Arctic Sea will be given priority, Podyuk said.

Polish EU Presidency: What does it mean for climate action?  

While the Polish Presidency presents an opportunity to address critical challenges, its current priorities fall short of aligning European competitiveness and security with the urgent need for climate action. Bellona’s Roadmap for 2024-2029 calls on the EU to implement ambitious and science-based climate goals to achieve climate neutrality and strengthen EU security. By focusing on industrial decarbonisation, renewable energy integration, transparent climate policy, and green public procurement, the Presidency can lead the EU towards a resilient, competitive, and climate-neutral future. As such, Bellona calls on Poland to implement more concrete and ambitious climate policies and well-functioning markets for a net-zero world.
