The Novy Port field is one of the largest oil and gas condensate deposits being developed in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Area (YNAO). C1 and C2 reserves at the Novy Port deposit hold over 250 million tonnes of oil and condensate, as well as over 320 billion cubic metres of gas (including Paleozoic deposits). The development of infrastructure necessary for full-scale industrial development of the Novy Port is under construction today. A terminal with daily capacity of up to 40,000 tonnes of crude will be built at Cape Kamenny by the end of 2015. The deposit and the terminal will be linked by a 100-kilometer long pipeline.
