A new gas deposit was discovered at the Leningradskoye field of the Yamal gas production center, Gazprom said on October 8, 2020.

As a result of drilling and testing of an exploratory well, commercial gas inflow of approximately 600,000 cubic meters per day has been achieved. This proves that the new deposit contains considerable volumes of gas. The commercial value of the field is therefore much higher today than in the past.

This is the fourth major discovery made by Gazprom in the past two years on the Yamal Peninsula shelf in the Kara Sea.

The company will calculate the newly discovered reserves of the Leningrad Field and submit the results to the State Reserves Commission for registration in the State Register.
