Based on ethnographic fieldwork material and other data collected during 2006–2009, this article examines contemporary models of agreement-making and partnerships negotiated between the local communities, government, and resource corporations in the Russian District of Purovsky (Arctic Yamal).

With the opening up of new gas and oil fields, and construction of roads and pipelines, Yamal is experiencing rapid changes and is being challenged to reshape its many ‘frontiers’ in which people, energy, and decisions are closely linked to one another.
