In order to improve the efficiency of the work carried out, the Company uses the most modern technologies and relies on the experience and high qualifications of specialists from its geological service, as well as the Company's scientific and technical center located in the city of Tyumen. A characteristic feature of the Company is a systematic and integrated approach to the development of hydrocarbon resources - from the collection and interpretation of seismic and well data, their use in geological and hydrodynamic modeling to substantiate optimal field development systems to their implementation in practice with the introduction of modern drilling and well completion methods. This approach allows the Company to ensure the search, exploration and production of hydrocarbons as efficiently and at the lowest cost as possible. In 2013, NOVATEK continued full-scale geological exploration in the areas on the Gydan Peninsula and in the water area of the Gulf of Ob - an assessment of the resource potential of the areas was completed, preparatory work began for drilling exploratory wells on the peninsula. Geological exploration work was also continued at the fields and license areas of the Nadym-Pur-Tazovsky District, including the license areas of OOO SeverEnergia. The Company's efforts in this region are mainly aimed at prospecting and exploration of gas condensate deposits in the Lower Cretaceous (including the Achimov) deposits at a depth of 2,000 to 4,400 meters. В 2013 году выполнено 609 пог. км сейсморазведочных работ 2D и 2 677 кв. км сейсморазведочных работ 3D (с учетом объемов, выполненных совместными предприятиями). Сейсмические исследования в основном проводились в новых регионах (на Утреннем месторождении на полуострове Гыдан), на новых объектах, подготавливаемых к запуску в эксплуатацию (Термокарстовом, Самбургском, Ево-Яхинском лицензионных участках), а также на Восточно-Таркосалинском месторождении в рамках реализации нефтяной программы. Проходка в поисково-разведочном бурении составила в 2013 году 37,3 тыс. м. Строительством были закончены восемь поисковых и разведочных скважин, в результате чего выполнена доразведка существующих залежей на ранее открытых месторождениях, а также открыто Дороговское месторождение в пределах Северо-Русского лицензионного участка. Запасы месторождения по российской классификации АВС1+С2 по состоянию на конец 2013 года составляли 35 млрд куб. м газа и 2 млн т газового конденсата. The main increase in gas and gas condensate reserves as a result of the geological exploration work was obtained due to the refinement of the geological model of the Utrennoye field and additional exploration of the Yurkharovskoye and Urengoyskoye (Samburgsky license area) fields. Positive results were also obtained in the course of additional exploration of oil deposits in the Vostochno-Tarkosalinskoye field. © 2014 NOVATEK.
