据俄罗斯油气网12月14日消息称，俄罗斯国家储备委员会已经承认俄罗斯石油公司在喀拉海发现了一个北极天然气田，并建议俄罗斯联邦地质基金会(RosGeolFond)将该气田列入国家登记，俄罗斯石油公司估计该气田储量为8000亿立方米。
该油田是在East-Prinovozemelsky-1许可区的Vikulovskaya结构上进行勘探钻井后发现的。初探井深1621米。俄罗斯石油公司在2020年安排在喀拉海的两个许可区域进行勘探钻探。此次钻探是俄罗斯石油公司开发该地区油气潜力的综合计划的一部分。
总体而言，在喀拉海的3个East-Prinovozemelsky区块确定了30多个预期构造。俄罗斯石油公司在喀拉海的钻探结果显示，上述构造具有很高的石油和天然气潜力，这证明了喀拉海上一个新的石油省的发现。在资源方面，它可能超过墨西哥湾、巴西大陆架、阿拉斯加和加拿大的北极大陆架以及中东的主要省份等含油气省份。
TomskNIPIneft公司研究所的专家对从Universitetskaya-1井获得的原油的理化性质和组成进行了研究。这种超轻原油在关键指标(重力和硫含量)上超过了布伦特原油、西伯利亚轻质原油和西德克萨斯中质油，其性能可与越南近海白虎油田的原油相媲美。

Rosneft discovers unique gas field in Kara Sea
The State Reserves Commission has acknowledged Rosneft’s discovery of an Arctic gas field in the Kara Sea and has recommended the Russian Federal Geological Foundation (RosGeolFond) to put the field The field was discovered following exploratory drilling Overall, more than 30 prospective structures were identified in the 3 East-Prinovozemelsky areas of the Kara Sea. The results of Rosneft’s drilling in the Kara Sea showed the high oil and gas potential of said structures, which proves the discovery of a new Kara offshore oil province. In terms of resources, it could surpass such oil and gas-bearing provinces as the Gulf of Mexico, the Brazilian shelf, the Arctic shelf of Alaska and Canada, and the major provinces of the Middle East.
Specialists from the TomskNIPIneft corporate institute carried out a study of the physical and chemical properties and composition of crude oil obtained from the Universitetskaya-1 well. This ultra-light crude exceeds Brent as well as Siberian Light and WTI in key indicators (gravity and sulphur content) and is comparable in performance with the Vietnam offshore White Tiger field crude.
