RUSTAM Romanenkov, deputy managing director of Russian state controlled oil producer Gazpromneft, is forecasting unhindered production growth at the Prirazlomnoye field in the Pechora Sea over the “foreseeable future”.

The company is currently drilling more development wells from the platform at the field, where production began in December 2013.

Romanenkov said supplies of western-made equipment, machinery and goods to the platform are running uninterrupted despite the introduction of US and European sanctions against Russia last year.
