The oil fields have around 1.1 billion barrels (170×10^6 m3) of estimated oil reserves.[1] Recoverable reserves are 78.1 million tons in the Trebs field and 132.8 million tons in the Titov field.[2][3] In 2006, the Trebs and Titov fields were designated as "strategic fields".[4]

The license for development of these fields was auctioned in 2010. Although initial interest was shown by Lukoil, TNK-BP, Gazprom Neft, Surgutneftegaz, Bashneft, and ONGC, the final bid was made only by Bashneft.[5] The licence was issued to Bashneft on 2 December 2010.[6]

On 15 April 2011, Lukoil agreed to acquire a 25.1% stake in the project.[7]
