Russian operator Novatek is drilling a third exploration well in connection with its planned Obsky liquefied natural gas project on the Yamal Peninsula.
According to a tender disclosure notice by Novatek-owned operator Obsky SPG, the company intends to spud exploration well 500R on the Upper Tiuteyskoye field next May.
Upper Tiuteyskoye, together with the neighbouring West Seyakhinskoye field, will provide gas to the planned LNG plant, which is set to be built next to the existing Yamal LNG facility in the port of Sabetta on the Yamal Peninsula.
