According to Russian newswires, Gazprom Neft reportedly confirmed that a tanker laden with 200,000 barrels of oil delivered her cargo last week. This was the second shipment of oil delivered from the Novoportovskoye field on the Yamal Peninsula.
The oil arm of Russian energy company Gazprom said the oil is designated as Novy Port, which is claimed to be superior in quality than Brent crude.
"A third tanker is currently being prepared for shipment," the company said in a statement to the newswires.
