Bovanenkovo gas field

The Bovanenkovo gas field is a natural gas field located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. It was discovered in 1972 and developed by Gazprom. It began production in 2012 and produces natural gas and condensates. The total proven reserves of the Bovanenkovo gas field are around 171.5 e12ft3, and production is stated to be around 11 e9ft3 per day in 2010. The Bovanenkovo gas field is part of the Yamal project.

Drilling of the first production well started in late 2008, when construction of the Bovanenkovo–Ukhta section of the Yamal–Europe pipeline also started.

In 2020 production was 99 e9m3 of its nominal production capacity of 115 e9m3 per year. The development of deeper wet gas layers could increase capacity to 140 e9m3 per year.

The Kharasavey gas field is about 100 km north of Bovanenkovo.

Transportation
The 572 km Obskaya–Bovanenkovo railway was built from Obskaya to provide all year access to the Bovanenkovo gas field, opening in 2011. The port at Kharasavey gas field can be used in the summer. The gas field is also served by the Bovanenkovo Airport.
