Russia's state-controlled gas export monopoly Gazprom plans to produce 20 billion cubic meters of gas per annum at Kamchatka deposits in the Russian Far East, the company said on Tuesday.
In 2009, Gazprom completed preparatory and design works on the western Kamchatka licensed site and in January-September 2010 carried out seismographic surveys in the area. After the results of surveys are ready, the gas giant will launch the drilling of exploratory wells off Kamchatka in 2011, it said.
