Yuzhnoe Khilchuyu /Южное Хыльчую deposit relates to Timano-Pechorskaya oil and gas province located in the Republic of Komi and the Nenets Autonomous Area. This location is considered to be the largest resource base of crude hydrocarbons in the northern and western Russia with its total area of about 600,000 м2. More than half of oil reserves in the province can be classified as hard-to-recover as they have high glueyness and scrape in their composition. That is why their production requires application of complex and expensive technologies and equipment. The development of the deposit was performed under a joint project of Lukoil/ Лукойл and ConocoPhillips.
