NEW YORK (Reuters) – Russia’s Gazprom OAO (GAZP.MM: Quote, Profile , Research) said on Thursday it is not looking for foreign investment into two major Arctic projects on the Yamal Peninsula, but said it might welcome foreign oil companies at other fields there.
Gazprom, the world’s largest natural gas producer has said it plans to spend more than $1 billion (484 million pounds) at the Bovanenkov and Kharasavei fields in the Arctic peninsula as it speeds up exploration to replace declining Siberian production.
Vlada Rusakova, head of the company’s department of strategic development, said Gazprom will work independently at those fields.
“If there are some interesting proposals — some interesting technologies offered to develop some other fields — we will consider those offers,” she said.
As Yamal is in Northwest Siberia, the company will need tens of billions of dollars to bring gas from remote deposits into its trunk gas pipeline system.
It plans to produce the first 15 billion cubic meters of gas at Bovanenkov in 2011, gradually bringing output to 250 billion cubic meters a year.
Industry analysts say Yamal’s development will dwarf Shtokman, another giant deposit, which is located in the stormy Barents Sea and will need at least $20 billion in investment.
Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L: Quote, Profile , Research) has expressed interest in getting involved in a major project on the Yamal peninsula.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
