Here Comes The Russian Arctic Gas That Volition Fuel Europe

From The Barents Observer, Sept. 14:

Energy fellowship Gazprom volition shortly hold out able to deliver upward to 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas per twelvemonth from its fields inward the Yamal Peninsula.

The 3rd develop of the Bovanenkovo champaign is nether grooming too volition hold out launched inward the course of report of the year, fellowship managers told their Board of Directors inward a coming together early on September. That volition convey annual production from the giant champaign to 115 billion cubic meters, the fellowship says.

In addition, Gazprom has decided to kickoff the evolution of the nearby Kharasavey champaign inward 2019. That volition ultimately increase production inward the portion past times merely about other annual 32 billion cubic meters.

By 2023, the national liberate energy fellowship intends to create to a greater extent than than 150 billion cubic meters of natural gas inward the remote Arctic peninsula.

That is far to a greater extent than than the full Norwegian natural gas production, which inward 2017 amounted to 122 billion touchstone cubic meters.

And to a greater extent than is to come. Gazprom has a string of to a greater extent than champaign licenses inward the portion too the accumulated resources potential past times far exceeds 10 trillion cubic meters. The Bovanenkovo lonely holds 4,9 trillion cubic meter too the Kharasavey - two trillion cubic. In add-on comes the so-called Tambey fields, which concur an estimated 7,7 trillion cubic meters, too several major nearby offshore fields similar the Leningradskoye, Rusanovskoye, Nyarmeyskoye and Kamennomysskoye-More.

Gazprom believes that it ultimately volition hold out able to export equally much equally 360 billion cubic meters from Yamal.

The resources are all aimed European consumers. Over the side past times side few months, Gazprom volition consummate the construction of the 970 km long Ukhta-Torzhok-2 pipeline, which volition increase out-transportation capacity of Arctic gas past times 45 billion cubic meters.

That novel business volition ultimately hold out connected besides amongst the disputed North Stream pipelines that locomote through the Baltic Sea....MORE

On the map below the novel pipeline is shown past times the dotted greenish business that extends virtually due due west to the city/port of Ust-Luba ( Усть-Луга) which is the planned eastern terminus of Nord Stream 2.
