This information was given to a correspondent of IA «Sever-Press» in the branch «Messoyakha» of the company «Gazprom Neft – Razvitiye».
Reservoirs of different size for treatment and storage of oil and water will be assembled on building sites of the central point of collection and the point of commercial registration of oil. Fire-fighting reservoirs and foundation for gas-turbine aggregates will be prepared for the electric power station.
Building of the pressure oil pipeline with the length 105 kilometers from the East-Messoyakhskoye field to the acceptance transfer unit will start in the 4th quarter of the year.
