Petroneft Resources, an Irish oil producer and explorer focused on Russia, said Tuesday that it discovered another oil deposit near a field already under production in the Tomsk region.
Petroneft shares closed up more than 8 percent at 59.5 pence in London. The stock price has almost tripled this year.
The Arbuzovskaya well is the first of a five-well exploration program that aims to double the company’s proven and probable reserve base in the next year, the company said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
