In September 2018, Gazprom Neft-subsidiary Gazprom Neft Khantos was testing a new pool wildcat at the Zimniy Zapadnyy license in Khanty-Mansiysk (Yugra) Autonomous Okrug (Western Siberia). Zimnyaya Zapadnaya 2, spudded in late April 2018, reached its TD of 3,004 m in late July 2018. By early October 2018, two reservoirs in the Tyumen Formation (Middle Jurassic) were tested. Formation water was tested from reservoir Yu9. Oil at a rate of 43 b/d was tested from reservoir Yu5 perforated at 2,832-2,846 m. The company plans to test one more reservoir in Tyumen Formation (Yu2-3) and two reservoirs in Achimov Member (Neocomian).  Im. A. Zhagrina, discovered in January 2018, is located in the southern part of the Ural-Frolov Province. Three pools have been identified within the Neocomian section. In March 2018, the operator estimated 3P oil reserves at 226 MMbbl.
