“Ukrgasvydobuvannya” to put its 15th well into operation in 2024

JSC Ukrgasvydobuvannya (UGV) has launched a new well with a depth of 4202 m and a flow rate of 170 thousand cubic meters of gas per day, the press service of Naftogaz Group reports.

According to the press service, this is the 15th well at the field since the beginning of 2024. Another one is planned to be drilled by the end of the year.

“The new well was drilled in the central part of the field. We plan to drill another one by the end of the year and four more next year. Thanks to the professional and well-coordinated work of all UGV specialists, we have been able to increase production for the second year in a row,” said Naftogaz CEO Oleksiy Chernyshov, as quoted by the press service.

According to Serhiy Lagno, the head of Ukrgasvydobuvannya, this result was achieved due to the successful choice of the well site.

“This was preceded by earlier 3D seismic surveys and their qualitative analysis, preliminary identification of promising horizons, as well as clarification of their capacity,” he explained.

As reported, in January-October 2024, Ukrgasvydobuvannya increased commercial gas production by 6% compared to the same period in 2023 – up to 11.6 bcm. At the end of 2023, commercial gas production amounted to 13.224 bcm, which is 0.679 bcm more than in 2022.

After hydraulic fracturing, Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC (UGV) has increased the flow rate at one of its wells fivefold to more than 100 thousand cubic meters of gas per day, the company’s press service reports.
According to the company, from November 2023 to August 2024, the well operated with a gradual decrease in flow rate from 29 thousand cubic meters to 18 thousand cubic meters of gas per day.
The decision to workover the well was made after calculating the well’s potential and collecting geological and technical information. The well was fractured within 18 days.
As reported, in January-August 2024, UGV increased commercial gas production by 7.2% compared to the same period last year – up to 9.26 bcm. During this period, UGV completed drilling of 62 wells, of which 52 were put into production. Of these, 23 have an initial daily flow rate of more than 100 thousand cubic meters.
In 2023, the company produced 13.224 bcm of commercial gas, which is 0.679 bcm more than in 2022. “In 2023, Ukrgasvydobuvannya launched 86 new wells, 24 of which had an initial flow rate of more than 100 thousand cubic meters.

“Ukrgasvydobuvannya” has commissioned well with flow rate of 274 thousand cubic meters per day

JSC Ukrgasvydobuvannya (UGV) has launched a high-performance well in Poltava region with a daily production rate of 274 thousand cubic meters of gas.
According to the company’s website, the new well was drilled as an appraisal and production well using a hydrocarbon-based mud. Its peculiarity is that the planned bottom hole is located directly under a settlement.
“The idea of drilling this well belongs to Andriy Tiro from UkrNDIGas, he assessed the field’s production potential and found a remote site for its drilling. At the same time, the development team has prepared a detailed geological and technical feasibility study,” said Serhiy Lagno, UGV CEO, as quoted on the website.
He added that the well was drilled thanks to modern drilling equipment, advanced drilling technologies and the skill of Ukrburgaz drilling department (UGV division – IF-U) specialists, who completed a rather difficult task in 4 months: they drilled a well with a bottom hole reach of more than 1.3 thousand meters.
In turn, the specialists of the Ukrgazpromgeofizyka geophysical department (UGV branch – IF-U) performed complex logging operations and determined the depth of gas-bearing formations in the conditions of a large wellbore angle.
“The commissioning of the new well increased gas production per day at this field by 17%. This means that the field has prospects for further drilling, despite its depletion and age,” commented the head of UGV.
As the company recalled, Ukrgasvydobuvannya drilled 50 wells in 6 months of 2024, of which 41 were put into operation.
As reported, in 2023, Ukrgasvydobuvannya launched 86 new wells, 24 of which had an initial flow rate of more than 100 thousand cubic meters, and in January-May 2024, 36 new gas wells, 11 of which are highly productive.
In 2023, the company produced 13.224 bcm of commercial gas, which is 0.679 bcm more than in 2022.
“In January-June 2024, Ukrgasvydobuvannya increased natural gas production (commercial) by 8.8% compared to the same period in 2023 – up to 6.913 bcm.
