By the end of the decade, three large deposits, launched in 2013, - the fields of Trebs and Titov in Western Siberia, the Srednesubbotinskoye field in Eastern Siberia and the Arctic Prirazlomnoye field – will help to increase the production by 16 million tons (300 thousand barrels per day). The possible delay of these fields launch and review of target rates make long-term forecasts less exact, analysts note.
