Economy and Infrastructure

Nogliki is the supply base for the natural gas and oil deposits Sakhalin I and Sakhalin II to the northeast of the settlement off the coast of Sakhalin . There are also forestry companies.

The settlement is the northern end point of the main line of the railway network (1520 mm Russian broad gauge ) of the Sakhalin Island (route km 662 from Korsakow via Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk). The line, the construction of which had already begun before 1945 in the southern part of the island, which was then part of Japan, reached Nogliki in 1978.

As early as 1953 Nogliki was reached by a railway line coming from the north with a gauge of 750 mm, the construction of which had begun during the Japanese occupation of the northern part of the island around Ocha in 1925. Continuous passenger traffic on the 228-kilometer route from Ocha was discontinued as a result of the opening of the Cape Gauge route in the 1980s; In 2006 there was still modest freight traffic on what is now Rosneft's route. The 20-kilometer section from Nogliki to the southeast via the Katangli settlement to the Nabil pier on the seashore was dismantled in the 1990s.

On September 17, 2007, an airport to serve the oil and gas production areas was put into operation.
