The Urengoy gas field in the northern West Siberia Basin is the world's second largest natural gas field after South Pars / North Dome Gas-Condensate field.[citation needed] It lies in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Tyumen Oblast, Russia, just south of the Arctic Circle. It is named after the settlement of Urengoy. The gas field is operated by Gazprom Dobycha Urengoy[1] and serviced by the town of Novy Urengoy, founded in 1973.
