Naftogaz Group has increased gas production by more than 400 thousand cubic meters by launching three wells in November, its CEO Oleksiy Chernyshov said.
“We continue to increase Ukrainian gas production! In November alone, three high-rate wells were put into operation (…). In total, in November we have an additional 400 thousand cubic meters of gas per day!” he wrote on his Facebook page on Friday.
Chernyshov clarified that two of the mentioned wells are new. Their launch was the result of the implementation of the largest 3D seismic survey program in the history of modern Ukraine and the high professionalism of Naftogaz specialists. The third well is a rehabilitated well that had been in the liquidation fund for 35 years.
As reported, in 2023, Ukrgasvydobuvannya set a goal to increase natural gas production by 1 billion cubic meters to 13.5 billion cubic meters. In 2022, the company produced 12.5 bcm of natural gas (commercial), which is 3% less than in 2021.
