"Crude output at TNK-BP, Russia's third-largest oil producer, fell 0.5
percent last month following a production decline at its much-depleted West
Siberian fields, including Samotlor - once a pride of Soviet oil industry and
one of the world's only six super-giant oil fields with peak production of more
than 1 million bpd in the 1970s and 1980s. Last month Samotlor's production declined more than 1 percent to 332,782
bpd ... Oil is getting harder to find and more expensive to extract, which is
hitting oil companies' profits despite high crude prices."
