abstract:Samotlor Field is the largest oil field of Russia and the sixth largest in the world, owned and operated by TNK-BP. The field is located at Lake Samotlor in Nizhnevartovsk district, Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Tyumen Oblast.
Much of that comes from the supergiant Samotlorfield in Siberia, which TNK-BP has spent billions rehabilitating after years of mismanagement under Soviet engineers.
