On December 5, 1977 the USSR Gas Industry Ministry issued an order to establish an Urengoy Production Association (Urengoygazdobycha) dealing with gas production (renamed as Gazprom dobycha Urengoy from February 1, 2008).
The first comprehensive gas treatment unit (CGTU) was put into operation on April22; and the first bcm of Urengoy gas was produced via CGTU-1 as early as in May this year. During the peak development period natural gas production from the field totaled up to 300 bcmpa. Over three decades of the Urengoy oil, gas and condensate field development the company extracted nearly 6 tcm of natural gas, over 11 mln t of oil and some 140 mln t of gas condensate.

Development Strategy
To maintain a steady level of annual gas and condensate extraction pursuant to Gazprom’s strategy Gazprom dobycha Urengoy has developed and implementing a strategic development program, as well as defined hydrocarbon feedstock production prospects for the period until 2015.
Commissioning and bringing to its nominal capacity the comprehensive gas treatment unit #16 of the Pestsovaya area (the Urengoy field) was a significant achievement of the last years. The company completed developing the Eastern Dome of the Severo-Urengoy field (the Cenomanian deposit). Production is being intensified from the Yen-Yakhinsk and Tab-Yakhinsk areas of the Urengoy field, including the Western Dome of the Severo-Urengoy field.
With its anomalously high fluid pressure and big depth the Achimov formations of the Urengoy field will subsequently become a prioritized development object. The work is going on related to the development of the first and the second areas of the Achimov deposits.
