This strategic facility will serve the largest Vostok Oil project. Oil for storage will be supplied from three fields: Irkinskoye, Payakhskoye and Peschanoye.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating such a storage facility arose back in 2021. Then Rosneft&#8217;s subsidiaries &#8211; Taimyrneftegaz and NGH-Nedra &#8211; received licenses to study the possibility of its construction. Official permission from Rosnedra was received two years later, in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underground storage technology has become especially relevant during the pandemic, when oil prices collapsed. A sharp reduction in production was unprofitable and could harm the entire industry. Unlike Saudi Arabia, which stores surplus in tankers, Russia has chosen a more reliable and capital method &#8211; underground tanks.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, experts assumed that building such a facility from scratch would take about ten years. However, a faster method &#8211; pumping oil into depleted formations of old fields &#8211; allows you to create a storage facility in just 3-5 years. Judging by the timing of implementation, Rosneft took advantage of this accelerated option. This decision can also be associated with relatively small, operational storage volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project strengthens the country&#8217;s energy security and opens up new opportunities for flexible production management in conditions of market fluctuations.
