Salym Oil Fields Development Project
The Salym project is a complex of works on additional exploration and development of the Salym group of oil fields located in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District (120 km southwest of Surgut and 30 km west of the village of Salym).
The Salym group of fields includes the Zapadno-Salymskoye, Verkhnesalymskoye and Vadelypskoye fields.
Salym Petroleum Development LLC (the legal successor of Salym Petroleum Development N.V.) has been developing the Salym oil fields in Western Siberia since 2003.
The total area of the licensed areas is 2,141.4 sq km.
The recoverable oil reserves of category C1+C2 for the Salym group of fields, approved by the State Reserves Commission of the Russian Federation, amount to 140 million tons.
Salym Petroleum Development N.V. was established in 1996 as a joint venture between Shell and the Russian oil company Evihon (which was acquired by Gazprom Neft in the late 2000s) to develop the Salym group of fields.
Development of the Salym group of fields began in September 2003 under the current tax regime. SPD began works on building infrastructure: roads, production tanks, a shift camp, warehouses, and power lines. In parallel, the preparatory stage of the drilling program was underway.
In April 2004, drilling of the first production well began, and in August, SPD specialists drilled an exploratory well at the Verkhnesalymskoye field, which exposed an oil-bearing formation.
In December 2004, the company began producing oil from the first wells of the West Salym field.
In 2005, the company completed construction of priority facilities of the field infrastructure, including an 88-kilometer oil pipeline for external oil transportation, a 50-kilometer all-season highway, power supply facilities, oil gathering networks, and the first stage of the oil treatment plant (OPP). In November 2005, SPD put the West Salym field into commercial operation.
In 2006, the company connected all three fields into a single system, which allowed for the most efficient use of the field infrastructure and optimized field development as a whole. In the summer of 2006, just three years after the start of the Salym project, SPD joined the ranks of Russian oil companies with an annual production volume of over one million tons.
In October 2007, daily oil production at the Salym group of fields exceeded 100,000 barrels.
Four years later, on September 25, 2011, SPD set a production record, producing 24,597 tonnes (177,472 barrels) of oil, the highest daily production in the company's history. That same year, the company also reached its peak annual production level, producing 8.4 million tonnes of oil.
As of the end of 2021, the accumulated production at the Salym group exceeded 100 million tonnes of oil since the project's launch, and the total length of drilled wells is 5 million meters.
Over the years of the Salym project, over 1,600 wells have been drilled.
Cumulative investments in the project exceeded RUB 194 billion.
Today, the Salym project is a large, modern, world-class oil field.
