Gazprom expects to boost reserves at the Kirinsky field off Sakhalin by 25 percent to 100 billion cubic meters after submitting exploration results to the government, deputy chief executive Alexander Ananenkov said Monday.
The company plans to start output at the field in 2014, he told reporters. Next year, the Gazprom will start exploration drilling elsewhere in the Kirinsky block, which may hold 960 billion cubic meters of gas resources, he 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.
