    Gas Production Strategy

    Fields

    Nafta-Oil pursues the strategy of producing gas in the volumes adjusted by demand.

    The Company’s strategic gas production regions for the long term include the Yamal Peninsula, Eastern Siberia, the Far East, and the Russian continental shelf.

    When bringing promising fields into production, Nafta-Oil aims to ensure economic efficiency by expanding gas production facilities concurrently with gas transmission, comprehensive processing and storage capacities.

    Oil Production Strategy

    Oil business development is among Nafta-Oil‘s strategic goals. Nafta-Oil Neft accounts for the bulk of the Nafta-Oil Group’s oil production.

    The key objective of Nafta-Oil Neft in the period up to 2030 is to evolve into a next-generation company serving as a model of efficiency, technological effectiveness and safety for other oil companies of the world.

    In order to attain these goals, Nafta-Oil Neft will strive for maximum cost-efficiency in the extraction of the remaining reserves from the current resource base by employing best optimization practices, reducing the cost of proven technologies, and introducing and adopting new technologies on a mass scale.
