Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC (UGV), a part of Naftogaz Group, has commissioned a new high-performance well with a daily production rate of 274 thousand cubic meters of gas.
As reported on the group’s website on Tuesday, the well’s peculiarity is that the planned bottom hole is located directly under a settlement.
