MOSCOW, Dec 20 (Reuters) - Russia’s first Arctic offshore field Prirazlomnoye, where Greenpeace activists were arrested in September after a high seas clash with Russian authorities, has started production of oil, energy company Gazprom said on Friday.
The project is almost a decade behind its initial schedule and is one of the most controversial energy projects, seen as dangerous for the environment by the greens, who say that the drilling and storage platform is three decades old.
