Summary Information
* Operator: TNK-BP
* Country: Russia
* Location: Lake Samotlor in Nizhnevartovsk district, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Tyumen Oblast, Russia
* Production start: 1969
* Partners:
* Type: Oil
* Estimated Reserves: The field’s in-place reserves are currently estimated at around 7.1 billion tons, of which over 3.5 billion tons are recoverable.
* Production Volume: 37.4 million tons per annum

+++ Description
* The sixth largest oil field in the world, the field is 80% depleted
* New technologies (horizontal drilling, sidetracking, extended reach drilling, hydraulic fracturing) have been applied to boost the active well stock almost to 8 000

+++ Contractors
* Over 400 contractor companies are currently active at Samotlor, the largest of which are Nizhnevartovskburneft, PetroAlliance, Integra-Burenie, Halliburton and Schlumberger Lodgelko

+++ History
* 1964 - The field was discovered
* 1969 - Production began
* 1999 - TNK-BP began its operations in the field
* 2000 - EX-IM Bank awards loans to finance Halliburton and more than 25 other U.S. suppliers of oil field equipment for the rehabilitation of the Samotlor oil field
* 2010 - Automated well control pilot project launched

+++ Other Information
* Since development work began at Samotlor a total of 2 086 well clusters have been built. This approach resulted in the field having an unusually large number of idle wells. Since TNK-BP took over operations, however, a program of well interventions has reduced the idle well stock by 39% to its current level of about 2 109.
* In turn, new technologies (horizontal drilling, sidetracking, extended reach drilling, hydraulic fracturing) have been applied to boost the active well stock almost to 8 000. In addition, a development program has been implemented at the Ust-Vakh acreage, with 283 wells drilled and reserves of over 50 million tons brought on stream.
