Laptev Sea

For ice-covered waters, like the northeastern Barents Sea, the Kara Sea and the Laptev Sea, seabed infrastructure for autonomous drilling and production for oil- and gas are being developed. The concept was presented at the conference «Arctic - Territory of Dialogue» held in Arkhangelsk last winter.

New oil discovery has been found in the Laptev Sea offshore Northern Russia and several drilling projects have been approved in the Russian Arctic sea region closer to the North Pole are the factors fuelling the market in the region. Middle East & Africa region is projected to contribute significantly during the forecast period ...

... from the Laptev Sea, adjacent to the North Pole (80 degrees north latitude), to the Gulf of Talaimannar and the equator, and further to the southern hemisphere across the Indian Ocean, to the Maldives, Mauritius, Djibouti, and beyond; and to the Pacific island-nation of Vanuatu. China's BRI/OBOR/CPEC ...

Some might say oil and gas exploration is dead. I would disagree with this statement, although with a few caveats. A recent study by Westwood Global Energy Group noted several major discoveries in the past few months, basing its metric on discoveries of more than 100 MMboe. The study listed nine of ...

The Westwood study noted that the number of “high-impact exploration wells” was similar to 2016 but well below 2014 levels. However, a frontier discovery was reported in the Laptev Sea in Russia and another “play-opening discovery” was made in the Barents Sea. While not commercial yet, these new ...

In particular, the two companies agreed to work together on the shelf of the Kara Sea, the Chukchi Sea, the Laptev Sea & Black Sea. Russia's oil production in the Arctic will reach peak levels in the 2020s. Russia produced about 76 million tonnes of oil in the Arctic, and the production would be growing to ...

In particular, the two companies agreed to work together on the shelf of the Kara Sea, the Chukchi Sea, the Laptev Sea and the Black Sea. Nothing is said in the report that the company also plans to quit the joint projects with Rosneft, where agreements were concluded before 2013 and 2014. In July 2017 ...

The samples from 2011 came from sea ice that had started its long journey north in the coastal waters of the Laptev Sea of eastern Siberia nearly two years earlier, in October 2009. The samples from 2015, which had only been underway in the Arctic Ocean half as long, showed a markedly lower level of ...

Partly thanks to global warming, last year it started drilling in the Laptev Sea, in the Arctic Circle, despite low prices and semi-frozen terrain that would put off most Western oil companies. The wild card for petro-producers is what happens to demand for oil and gas in the developing world, particularly in ...

The small town located near the Lena river delta on the Laptev Sea coast is due to get small-scale 3,9 MWh wind and diesel plant. A memorandum of cooperation was late February signed by NEDO, a Japanese public research and development management organization, the regional government of ...

In April 2017 Rosneft began drilling the northernmost well on the Russian Arctic shelf in the Khatangsky license in the Laptev Sea, hitting oil in June. According to information from analysts at Divergente LLC, Rosneft plans to resume drilling in the Barents Sea this year and in the Kara Sea within two years ...

Especially the waters from the Vilkitsky Strait, through the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea are likely to pose challenges. In a recent meeting with Chukotka Governor Roman Kopin, Rosenergoatom leader Petrov made clear that the floating NPP is to start test production in the course of September ...

Russia's TASS News agency quoted the Rosneft head Igor Sechin as saying, “we have identified a number of promising structures there, in addition to the Central Olginskaya,” the basin in the Laptev Sea in which vast oil reserves were discovered approximately 7,550 feet below the ocean's surface at the ...

The only open Russian waters are much further north in the Arctic Circle — the Barents Sea, The Laptev Sea, and the East Siberian Sea. None of these are overly hospitable places for a splashdown. If water got into the spacecraft at all, the cosmonauts would freeze, and the wouldn't have the option of ...

The state company wants to drill at the Khara-Tumus field, an area located along the coast of peninsula Taymyr, near the Laptev Sea. The company has already submitted an application to take part in the upcoming license tender, Neftegaz reports. There are no other bidders to the remote Arctic license, the ...

Call it a new cold war: Russia, China and the United States all vying for influence and control in a part of the world that, this time, is quite literally cold. With more than half of all Arctic coastline along its northern shores, Russia has long sought economic and military dominance in part of the world where as ...

The company secured the license on the eastern Russian arctic shelf, and horizontal drilling of Tsentralno-Olginskaya-1 started on April 3. Water depths in the Khatanga license area, which is north of the Krasnoyarsk Region, reach 32 m (105 ft). Rosneft's studies of its acreage in the Laptev Sea since 2014 ...

... the President a core sample from the drilling. The sample is taken from 2,000 meter depths, Sechin said and added that drilling will proceed to 5,000 meter depths. According to Sechin, preliminarily technical studies from the company's Laptev Sea zone indicate geological reserves of up to 9,5 billion tons.

By MarEx 2017-06-18 16:59:49. Russian oil major Rosneft has discovered oil in the Laptev Sea after drilling its northernmost exploratory well on the Eastern Arctic shelf. The Tsentralno-Olginskaya-1 well was the first well drilled in the Laptev Sea and is located in the Khatanga license area which has water depths of up to ...

Rosneft opened the research base last year, with a view to performing winter research expeditions over its licensed areas in the Laptev Sea, and to serve as a testing ground for new Arctic technologies and materials, in particular ice conditions control technologies. The base performs year-round monitoring ...

The large block, the planned auction of which Rosnedra announced in December, is understood to occupy the entire Khara-Tumus Peninsula bordering the Laptev Sea in East Siberia. Rosneft submitted a last minute application to participate in the auction in early February. However, it did not submit a ...

Besides, there are several obstacles inherent in polar navigation. For example, the launch of cutting-edge container ships, more than 400 meter long, more than 49 meter wide and a draught of more than 15 meter, cannot cross the Laptev Sea, which has two straits that block the passage to this kind of ships ...
