SHTOKMAN LNG SHIPPING

The Shtokman natural gas field has 3.9 trillion cubic metres of natural gas and more than 56 million tons
of gas condensate in reserves. Not only is it one of the world’s largest gas fields, it is also the world’s
northernmost. Discovered in 1988, it is located in the central Russian sector of the Barents Sea, 600
kilometres north of the Kola Peninsula.

The field is named after Soviet oceanologist Vladimir Shtokman, and is under development by Gazprom
and its Phase 1 partners Total and Statoil. Pipeline gas production is planned to begin in 2016, with liquid
natural gas (LNG) production following in 2017.

The complexities presented by Shtokman’s location, harsh weather conditions and remote location meant
that Gazprom and its Phase 1 partners needed to plan extremely carefully for the future operation of the field.
