In the first days of 2024, Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC commissioned a new exploration well with a daily flow rate of 250 thousand cubic meters, the press service of Naftogaz of Ukraine reported on Friday.
The well has a design depth of 3950 meters and was drilled by Ukrburgaz (a branch of UGV).
According to the press service, this is the 10th well in this field, which shows a high result. The company’s specialists continue to explore its potential: using new technologies and engineering solutions, the company is increasing production.
“In some parts of this field, we have good 3D seismic data, which allows us to determine the optimal points for drilling new wells. Ten exploration wells have completed the geological information picture, and we plan to start production drilling this year,” said UGV CEO Oleg Tolmachev.
