The scale of the project will require $35B USD with the first phase costing $6B USD representing a landmark agreement for Genoil.Genoil will provide technology and project consultancy, as well as advising on the finance and development of upstream and downstream projects in Yakutia. Genoil will act as the lead consultant on all aspects of the project which will include engineering procurement and construction (EPC), equity and debt financing, and oil field services, as well as oil field operations and natural gas development.Under the agreement, Genoil will develop oil fields and refineries and will use its advanced Hydroconversion Upgrader (GHU) desulphurization technology, which converts heavy or sour crude oil into much more valuable, compliant low sulphur oil, for a low cost at the fraction of the cost of traditional refining processes.The first oil field block will yield 240,000 bpd production and is directly adjoining the Khatanga block being developed by Russian state oil giant Rosneft. The estimated cost to connect this first oil block to the nearby East Siberia-Pacific Ocean (ESPO) and the Western Siberian pipeline systems is an additional US$1.1 billion. The ESPO pipeline is likely to be used by many other major oil companies developing energy assets in the Arctic.The seismic work already completed on this property shows geological reserves in this first block estimated in excess of 80 million tons (550 million barrels of oil equivalents). and have hydrocarbon resources of approximately 800-850 million tons of oil equivalents (5.5-6.0 billion barrels of oil equivalents).Bruce Abbott, Chief Operating Officer, Genoil, commented, \"The agreement to develop these five blocks and unlock the potential of the oil reserves in Yakutia represents a landmark opportunity for Genoil and our long-term shareholders.\" Mr. Abbott continued, \"This opportunity represents the culmination of our...
