Considering the industry specifics wh ere the main players are major oil and gas companies and their subsidiaries, each contract and each year of operation is a challenge for an independent oil and gas service company. But these difficulties are also advantages making us grow in an effective, professional and quick way because our competitors are major market players”.

In 2020, NaftaGaz started drilling gas wells in Pestsovoye field under the contract with Gazpromneft-Zapolyarye LLC (Gazprom’s site) for development of Achim oil deposits in Yamburg oil and gas field and oil banks in Pestsovoye and En-Yhakhinskoye fields, as well as in Zapadno-Tarkosalinskoye field.
