history
The project was founded in 2001 with support from the Russian state. Production began in 2005 in the Tschaino (Chayno) field, 2010 in Odoptu and 2015 in Arkutun-Dagi. Oil and gas are transported to the mainland by tankers and a pipeline. In 2011 the world's largest drilling length was achieved in Odoptu with 12,443 meters, in 2014 in Tschaino with a length of over 13,000 meters.
The project has continued since 2014 even after the economic sanctions between Russia and the USA.
environmental issues
Environmental protection organizations such as WWF have repeatedly pointed out the pollution of the environment through production. Environmental protection requirements of the Russian authorities for the transport of raw materials through the feeding and habitat of gray whales are not complied with.
