The Zapolyarnoye gas field is a natural gas field located in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia. It was discovered in 1965, and developed (and operated)^[1] by Gazprom. It began production in 2001 and produces natural gas, oil, and condensates.^[2] The total proven reserves of the Zapolyarnoye gas field are around 95 trillion cubic feet (2300×10⁹m³),^{[citation needed]} and production is slated to be around 9.74 billion cubic feet/day (274×10⁵m³) in 2010.^{[citation needed]}

In 2017, an oil pipeline between Zapolyarnoye and Purpe was launched by Transneft. The pipeline can reportedly transfer up to 7.5 million tonnes of oil per year.^{[citation needed]}
