Vladimir Filanovsky field has gas and oil located within the Albian and Aptian stages, and the Neocomean super stage of the early Cretaceous sediments in water depths of 10m.

The second stage of the field aims to keep oil production at a proposed rate of six million tonnes per annum (Mtpa).

LUKOIL president and Russian Federation Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov said: “LUKOIL’s greenfield projects introduced Russia to a new Caspian oil and gas province, one of the biggest in Russian modern history.

“Technical infrastructure and safety and environment systems here conform to the world’s highest standards. We have discussed plans for fields development in the Astrakhan region today and it is safe to say that it is one of the growth points for the Russian oil industry.”
