rural locality (a settlement) in Nadymsky District of Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug of Russia, 148.5 kilometres (92.3 mi) north of the Arctic Circle on the Gulf of Ob.[3]
The name of the settlement is derived from the Yamburg gas field,[3] which was discovered in 1969.[4] Yamburg was constructed in the early 1980s as the base of operations for the exploration and development of the gas field. Yamburg is a company town, and the vast majority of its 5,000–6,000 inhabitants are employees of Gazprom.[3] The settlement is well served by transport infrastructure, including an airport, as well as river, motor and railway connections to other points in Russia.[4]
