Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov and President of LUKOIL Vagit Alekperov launched phase 2 of the development drilling campaign of the Offshore Ice-Resistant Fixed Complex 2 (OIRFC 2) at VladimirFilanovsky field in Astrakhan.

"LUKOIL's greenfield projects introduced Russia to a new Caspian oil and gas province, one of the biggest in Russian modern history. Technical infrastructure and safety and environment systems here conform to the world's highest standards. We have discussed plans for fields development in the Astrakhan region and it is safe to say that it is one of the growth points for Russian oil industry," Yury Borisov said.

The only world class training base in Russia to qualify personnel for working at offshore oil and gas fields, the center showcased to the esteemed visitors LUKOIL's high occupational safety and health standards applied across the company's hazardous production facilities.
