When the construction and connection of new wells is finished, the total number of wells will reach nine that will increase gas output to the projected level from 175 to 575 million cubic meters a year.
The company also plans to complete the Kshukskoye and Nizhne-Kvakchikskoye gas and condensate fields pre-development this year as part of the project on gas supply to Kamchatka Krai.
Production and auxiliary facilities are currently being constructed, installed and pre-commissioned at the fields.
By 2013, Gazprom expects to daily supply consumers in Kamchatka with 2 million cubic meters of gas produced from both fields, nearly twice as much as the present-day level.
