Ukrgazvydobuvannya, part of the Naftogaz group, has commissioned a new high-yield exploration well with a flow rate of 383,000 cubic meters of natural gas per day.
This was reported in a press release of the group with reference to the chairman of the board of Naftogaz of Ukraine, Serhiy Koretsky.
“This result is a joint achievement of all divisions of Ukrgazvydobuvannya that were involved in the design, drilling, and development.
I would like to thank everyone who worked on this well. Step by step, we are strengthening our own production,” he said.
The well is inclined, with a depth of almost 5.7 km. All work, from drilling to commissioning, was completed a month and a half ahead of schedule.
According to Naftogaz, two more exploration wells are currently being drilled at the same field, and three more are planned to start drilling in the near future.
As reported, Ukrgazvydobuvannya set a new drilling record in January-March 2025, reaching 107,136 meters, which is almost twice as much as in the same period of 2024 and exceeds the previous quarterly maximum recorded in the third quarter of 2024 (102,866 meters).
