The Sakhalin-3 (Russian: Сахалин-3) project is an oil and gas development in Sakhalin Island, Russia. It includes four blocks (East-Odoptu, Ayashsky, Veninsky and Kirinsky) containing 5.1 billion barrels (810×106 m3) of crude oil and 46 trillion cubic feet (1.3×1012 m3) of natural gas.[1][2]
The Veninsky field is being developed by Venineft, a joint venture of Rosneft (74.9%) and Sinopec (25.1%).[3] It has oil reserves of 1.2 billion barrels (190×106 m3) and 9.1 trillion cubic feet (260×109 m3) of natural gas.[2]
Kirinsky gas and condensate field is being developed by Gazprom Dobycha Shelf, a subsidiary of Gazprom. Kirinsky field is located 28 kilometres (17 mi) offshore Sakhalin Island in the Sea of Okhotsk in water depths of approximately 90 metres (300 ft).[4] It has gas reserves about 3.6 trillion cubic feet (100×109 m3). The field is expected to be commissioned in 2014.[5][6] In addition, Gazprom owns the East-Odoptu and Ayashsky licences.[7]
Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Rosneft got the licence to operate Sakhalin-3 under a production sharing agreement granted in 1993. The licence was revoked and re-tendered in 2005 under a normal tax regime.[8]
In June 2009, Prime Minister of Russia Vladimir Putin invited Royal Dutch Shell to participate in the Sakhalin-3 project.[9]
