OREANDA-NEWS. December 28, 2011. Surgutneftegas launched the third oilfield in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) – the Severo-Talakanskoye field.

Surgutneftegas has completed construction of oil and gas pipelines and power lines at the Severo-Talakanskoye field. As part of the oilfield infrastructure development, it is planned to construct site facilities including a booster pump station to be commissioned in 2013. By then, the annual production at the field is expected at 800,000 tons of oil.
