TNK-BP Starts Building Camp at Ust-Tegusskoe Field in Southern Tyumen Region

The area is currently being backfilled and piles are being driven in beneath the camp’s future buildings and facilities.
According to TNK-Uvat’s general director Andrey Rublev, the complex will be solidly built to take account of the climatic features of the oil producing region. The current plans include workers’ hostels, a hotel for visiting specialists, social, sports and health centres, a canteen, a medical station and a dry-cleaner. In total, around two dozen facilities are planned.
“The residential, administrative and working premises will be linked by arctic walkways, which will be very convenient for the camp residents, especially in the winter”, said Rublev. “The camp will be built to the very latest standards of comfort, safety and environmental protection.”
The oilmen’s camp will have its own treatment facilities, including a biological treatment station for effluent and special refuse disposal units.
The camp is being built in two phases. Phase 1 involves building a 188-bed hostel; with the completion of Phase 2 the hostel will reach a capacity of 320 residents. It is expected that the first employees will be able to move in to the new hostel in early 2011.
