Press release: Lukoil expands production capacities at Yarega field

LUKOIL has commissioned a steam generation farm at Yarega field of highly viscous oil in the Republic of Komi. The facility is to build up production as part of Yarega area Phase 2 development.

The farm, including five boilers with the total capacity of 125 metric tonnes of steam an hour, produces steam vapor under higher pressure than that produced by the boiler room operated earlier. The higher pressure provides better efficiency of the reservoir heat-up and increases the wells' flow rates.

The company also works to expand the capacities of the Center and North steam-generation farms at Yarega.
