The Zapolyarnoye gas field is a natural gas field located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia. It was discovered in 1965, and developed (and operated)[1] by Gazprom. It began production in 2001 and produces natural gas, oil, and condensates.[2] The total proven reserves of the Zapolyarnoye gas field are around 95 trillion cubic feet (2300×109m³),[citation needed] and production is slated to be around 9.74 billion cubic feet/day (274×105m³) in 2010.[citation needed]
In 2017, an oil pipeline between Zapolyarnoye and Purpe was launched by Transneft. The pipeline can reportedly transfer up to 7.5 million tonnes of oil per year.[citation needed]
