Gazprom Group’s
increase in gas
reserves due
to exploration was
90% of the overall
growth in Russia.
Gazprom’s exploration efforts were prominent in all of Russia’s oil- and gas-bearing provinces
in 2014.
Across Russia, hydrocarbon exploration drilling had a meterage of 165.4 thousand m (including
37.5 thousand m in the Russian Far East and Eastern Siberia); 41 wells were completed,
and 31 wells gave an influx. The Group performed 2D seismic surveys totalling 6.6 thousand
linear km of seismic lines and 3D seismic surveys of 12.6 thousand square km (including 4.9 thousand
square km in the Russian Far East and Eastern Siberia). The Company allocated RUB 83.7bn
for the above exploration (inclusive of VAT).
The increase in explored gas reserves through exploration reached 822.5 bcm in 2014, with
600.6 bcm at the Astrakhanskoye field, 115.2 bcm at the Yuzhno-Kirinskoye field in the offshore
of the Okhotsk Sea, and 47.9 bcm at the Semakovskoye field in the Taz Bay waters. The increase
in liquid hydrocarbons resulting from the exploration was 22.3 mm tonnes of oil (mainly at
Gazprom neft’s fields) and 114.2 mm tonnes of gas condensate, mainly at the Astrakhanskoye and
Yuzhno-Kirinskoye fields.
