Sakhalin-III

1

The Sakhalin-3 project is an oil and gas development in Sakhalin Island, Russia. It includes four blocks (East-Odoptu, Ayashsky, Veninsky and Kirinsky) containing 5.1 Goilbbl of crude oil and 46 Tcuft of natural gas. The Veninsky field is being developed by Venineft, a joint venture of Rosneft (74.9%) and Sinopec (25.1%). It has oil reserves of 1.2 Goilbbl and 9.1 Tcuft of natural gas. Kirinsky gas and condensate field is being developed by Gazprom Dobycha Shelf, a subsidiary of Gazprom. Kirinsky field is located 28 km offshore Sakhalin Island in the Sea of Okhotsk in water depths of approximately 90 m. It has gas reserves about 3.6 Tcuft. The field is expected to be commissioned in 2014. In addition, Gazprom owns the East-Odoptu and Ayashsky licences. Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Rosneft got the licence to operate Sakhalin-3 under a production sharing agreement granted in 1993. The licence was revoked and re-tendered in 2005 under a normal tax regime. In June 2009, Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin invited Royal Dutch Shell to participate in the Sakhalin-3 project.
