據4月29日Kallanish Energy報道，俄羅斯最大的獨立天然氣生產商諾瓦泰克（Novatek）周二表示，將開始對其北極液化天然氣項目進行全面的地質勘測。

Arctic LNG 1是諾瓦泰克的全資子公司，正在開發下一個大型液化項目。該公司已在吉丹半島(Gydan Peninsula)注冊了新的許可證。

據估計，布哈林斯基許可區擁有84億桶石油資源。包括11900億立方米的天然氣和7400萬噸的液體資源。該許可證有效期至2050年。根據該協議的條款，該資源基地應用于亞馬爾-涅涅茨自治區和鄰近水域的液化天然氣生產。

諾瓦泰克表示，打算開始全面的地質勘探，并在即將到來的2020/21勘探季開始鉆探第一口探井。

Novatek plans geological survey for Arctic LNG 1 project

Russia’s largest independent natural gas producer, Novatek, said on Tuesday it will begin full-scale geological survey for its Arctic LNG 1 project, Kallanish Energy reports.

Arctic LNG 1, a wholly owned Novatek subsidiary developing the company’s next large-scale liquefaction project, has registered a new license on the Gydan Peninsula.

The Bukharinskiy license area is estimated to contain 8.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent. The estimated resources include 1,190 billion cubic meters of natural gas and 74 million tonnes of liquids. The license is valid until 2050.

Under the terms of the agreement, the resource base should be used for liquefied natural gas production in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region and the adjacent water area.

Novatek said it intends to begin full-scale geological and geophysical activities and “commence the drilling of the first exploratory well in the upcoming exploration 2020/21 season.”
