Gazprom is considering joint ventures with Novatek to develop Arctic gas fields and boost planned production of liquefied natural gas, the companies said Tuesday.
Gazprom may grant Novatek a 25 percent stake in a venture to develop the Tambei group of fields on the Yamal Peninsula to increase LNG production. The fields may hold 1.56 trillion cubic meters of gas reserves, enough to produce 20 million tons of LNG a year, the companies said.
Novatek and Gazprom may hold 50 percent each in a second venture to tap resources on the nearby Gydan Peninsula. The Utrenneye (Salmanovskoye) field holds 767.1 billion cubic meters of reserves.

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.
