Khanty-Mansiysk. OAO NAK AKI-OTYR (OAO NK RussNeft subsidiary) continues APG effective utilization programme implementation, planned for 2009-2013.
The programme involves construction of a number of gas engineering infrastructure facilities as well as the use of new technologies and development of optimal operation approaches at Shapshinskaya oilfields group in KhMAO. Above 467 mln rubles were allocated in 2012 for the implementation of the programme which will increase the level of APG utilization efficiency up to 95%.
