He said at least three or four such properties would be mapped out in the Barents Sea; as many again in the Northern and Southern Depressions of the Kara Sea; two or three in the Laptev Sea; and one or two in each of the Sea of Okhotsk and deep-water section of the Black Sea.

Trutnev said the anticipated growth of commercial reserves at these fields would be 2 billion-3 billion tonnes and that gas reserves, too, would increase substantially, by 3-5 trillion cubic meters.
