This licence is adjacent to the Molchanovskoye production licence and comprises an area of 95.7sq.km. The permit is valid until 2010. During 2006 an exploration well was drilled targeting a Devonian sandstone prospect to the south of the Molchanovskoye field.  No hydrocarbons were encountered and the well was abandoned.  However, the data obtained together with 16 km of additional seismic, has led to the identification of new prospects.  During 2008 two exploration wells both encountered 80m gross gas columns in the Tournasian carbonate.  Additional 2D seismic was acquired in 2008 which extended beyond the licence to a prosepective area, between the licence and the western part of the Ignatovskove licence
