FIRST LINE BUSINESS-ACCENT consistently launched into the development of new gas and oil fields, build the necessary infrastructure”, – points out Aleksey Miller. Last spring the oil offspring of Gasprom commissioned the unique onshore loading terminal “Gates of the Arctic”, designed for the year-round shipping of the Yamal oil. As explained by Vadim Yakovlev, to the end of the current year, Gazprom Neft is going to involve some new tankers and to 2020 two ice-breakers, thanks to which the project Novy Port will be able to reach 8 mln tones per year. Currently onshore transport-technological project systems is equipped with two multifunctional ice-breakers Baltika and Vladislav Strizhov, designed for year-round service of oil loading terminal and liquidation of off-optimum situations. For maintenance of the leased oil tankers nuclear-powered ice-breakers of Atomflot are used. According to the plans, up to the end of 20<strong>17</strong>, Vyborg Shipyard transfer to Gazprom Neft according to the order of the company built two multi-functional diesel-electric ice breakers of the newest generation Aker Arc130A. The project of this vessel was designed by the Finnish company and successfully passed ice simulation tests in the ice basin Aker Arctic in Helsinki and in the conditions of the open water in VTT basin (in the capital of Finland) and in the navigability laboratory of Krylov Sate Research center in Saint Petersburg. New generation ice breakers Aker Arc130A with power 22 МW will have the length 122 m, the width of the main deck (including fendering structures) – 26 m, the draft – 8 m. In addition, specifically for the project Novy Port six Arc7 tankers was built, which are able to operate in challenging Arctic conditions and will not require icebreaker escort while travelling along the route Murmansk – Gulf of Ob. Gates of the Arctic Novoportovskoye is of the largest developing oil and gas condensate fields of Yamak peninsula (on the stock of the liquid hydrocarbons is the largest). It is positioned in 30 km from the shore of Gulf of Ob. Extracted stokes of C1 and C2 categories are more 250 mln tons of oil and condensate and more than 320 billion cubic meters of gas. Gaspromneft- Yamal, JSC (till 2016 is Gaspromneft – Novy Port) is the offspring of Gazprom Neft, built up in 2011/ specially for the realization of Novy Port project, that is engaged of developing Novoportovsk oil and gas condensate field (including the infrastructure on extracting and shipping of hydrocarbons). The field was discovered in the mid-twentieth century. In 1964-1970 it was drilled more than FACTS 20 billion rubles Gazprom Neft is going to invest in the field in 20<strong>17</strong> 256 billion rubles it is planned to invest in the project up to 2040 30 exploration wells. However, the lack of solutions for costeffective export of raw materials for many years “frozen” the development of reserves. After in 2011, Gazprom neft has proved the possibility of export of oil from Yamal Northern sea route through the Gulf of Ob, the company has begun preparations for fullscale development of its Arctic asset. Currently cost-effective oil production at the field Gazprom neft is designed to 2044, but according to the technological scheme of development, production on the field and possible up to 2150. It is one of the most expensive projects of Gazprom Neft: the investment in the project over the last three years exceeded 180 billion rubles, the volume of overall investments until 2045 will amount to 435 billion rubles. Total tax revenues in budgets of all levels from the project in this period will amount to 1.7 trillion rubles. Launching of the terminal Gate of the Arctic on May 25, 2016, with a capacity of crude oil is up to 8.5 million tons per year, allowed the company year-round shipping of oil produced in Yamal on the tankers for further transportation along the Northern sea route. This is the only terminal in the world, located in fresh waters in the Arctic Circle. Sea terminal Gate of the Arctic is a unique structure: designed to work in extreme climatic conditions, has a two-tier system of protection and meets the most stringent requirements in the field of industrial safety and environmental protection. The terminal equipment is fully automated and protected against water hammer. A special system allows to produce the disjuncture between the terminal and the tanker, keeping the tightness of the releasable elements. The technology of "zero discharge" eliminates the ingress of any foreign matter into the waters of the Gulf of Ob, which is extremely important to preserve the fragile ecology of the Arctic.
