Chernomorneftegaz reports that Povorotnoye is one of the most promising gas fields in Crimea. It is situated in Leninsky district, 36 km east of the village of Lenino. Six prospecting and one probe wells were drilled there in 1985-1991, with no further work carried out – for, according to Chenomorneftegaz’s CEO Sergey Beyma, that project was no part of the local authorities’ plans.
