Prirazlomnoye field is an Arctic offshore oilfield located in the Pechora Sea, south of Novaya Zemlya, Russia. The field development is based on the single stationary Prirazlomnaya platform, which is the first Arctic-class ice-resistant oil platform in the world. Commercial drilling was planned to begin in early 2012, however it was delayed at least until the Spring of 2013 due to "safety concerns". This is the first commercial offshore oil development in the Arctic. Serious safety concerns have been raised about Prirazlomnoye platform, citing use of decommissioned equipment (the 1984 TLP upper section of the rig), Gazprom’s oil spill response plan for Prirazlomnaya expired in July 2012, and the use of a 650,000 barrels oil container while its worst-case scenario is only for an oil spill of around 10,000 tons (about 73,000 barrels). ==History== The field was discovered in 1989. In 1993, the development license was issued to Rosshelf, a subsidiary of Gazprom, and the field was to be operational by 2001.〔 〕 In June 2000, Gazprom and German energy company Wintershall signed a memorandum on cooperation in developing the Prirazlomnoye field.〔 〕 Also Rosneft wanted to join the project.〔 〕 In 2002, the license was transferred to Sevmorneftegaz, a joint venture of Gazprom and Rosneft.〔 〕 Later Sevmorneftegaz became a wholly owned subsidiary of Gazprom. There is a plan to pass the Prirazlomnoye development to Gazprom Neft, an oil arm of Gazprom.〔 〕 The name Prirazlomnoye means "at the geological fault". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prirazlomnoye field」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
