The VC oil and gas field is planned to produce a plateau production of 140-thousand barrels of oil per day (kbopd) from 430 production wells, and there will be 215 water injection wells. The field development will involve total 645 wells distributed over 75 well pads. The reservoir is about 1,700 meters depth and initial reservoir pressure is about 2,250 psia, with a reservoir temperature from 12C to 20C.
The project builds upon the existing relationship between TNK-BP and Granherne, a KBR subsidiary. Work on the project is already underway.
“This award solidifies our relationship with both VCNG and TNK-BP, and is further evidence of KBR’s commitment to establishing our continuing presence in Russia,” said John Rose, President, KBR Upstream. “We look forward to executing this project and I am confident this will be a successful FEED for the Eastern Siberia program.”
