Talakan-Ölfeld, Oil and gas field in Eastern Siberia, Russia.
Talakan is an oil and gas field in Eastern Siberia that spreads across a remote region with productive underground reserves. The site operates using industrial extraction infrastructure built to handle harsh climate conditions and difficult terrain.
The field was first discovered in 1987, with early exploration work beginning in 1993 through a subsidiary company. Subsequent development gradually brought extraction operations online over the following years.
The field's development transformed local demographics as workers from different regions established communities in the previously remote Siberian territory.
Access to the site is limited to specialized industrial routes designed for harsh weather conditions and remote operations. Visitors should understand that this is an active work site with strict safety requirements.
The oil extraction occurs at depths between 1000 and 1200 meters, with production rates reaching 6.5 million tons annually by 2010.
