Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC has launched five more wells with a daily increase in production of 0.5 million cubic meters of natural gas, the company’s press service reports.
According to the press service, four of the five wells were drilled in “old” fields 45-55 years old. One more is a new field: gas from it first entered the Ukrainian gas transportation system this month.
“To achieve our production growth targets, we combine the use of modern technologies to discover new deposits at already depleted fields and increase investments in research and development of new areas,” said Oleg Tolmachev, Head of UGV.
This approach at one of the old fields has increased daily gas production by 35% over the past two years, and at another by almost 50%.
“The rest of the fields, thanks to the use of modern technologies, have received a new life – they demonstrate stabilization of indicators and the possibility of potential production growth,” the company said.
As reported, since the beginning of the year, UGV has commissioned 58 new gas wells with a total average daily production rate of 5.3 million cubic meters.
The company aims to increase natural gas production by 1 bcm in 2023 to 13.5 bcm. In 2022, UGV produced 12.5 bcm of natural gas (commercial), which is 3% less than in 2021.
NJSC Naftogaz of Ukraine owns 100% of Ukrgasvydobuvannya shares.
