Photostory: extracting gas and oil in the Yamal Peninsula

• 16 Apr 2015

Gazprom has published a reportage on the extraction activities in the middle of the snowy field of the Yamal Peninsula, in the deep north of Siberia.  For over 30 years, employees of Spetsgazavtotrans (Gazprom owns 51 per cent stake in the company) perform their job duties in completely inhabitable living conditions. In the 1980s every oil and gas company involved in developing the Far North was switched to the rotational and expeditionary operating mode, envisaging a long way to the facility and back. The transportation scheme is developed individually for each specific destination point. The photographer followed the route taken by employees of Spetsavtotrans to the Novoportovskoye oil, gas and condensate field located on the east coast of the Yamal Peninsula.
