History
The field was discovered in 1982. The northern three-quarters of the field was controlled by
YUKOS via its daughter-company
Yuganskneftegaz, and began oil production in 2000. In 2004, Yuganskneftegaz was bought by
Rosneft, which is now the operating company for that portion of the field. The southern quarter of the field was controlled by Sibir energy, which began a joint venture with
Sibneft to develop the field, with volume production beginning in 2003. Sibneft subsequently acquired complete control of the field via a corporate maneuver to dilute Sibir's holding. Sibneft is now majority controlled by
Gazprom and renamed
Gazprom Neft.
