PJSC Ukrnafta has started implementing new systems for dosing liquid reagents at oil and gas wells, continuing the transition to modern equipment from world leaders.
“We have already installed 30 automatic dosing units at wells in the eastern and western regions,” the company’s press service toldInterfax-Ukraine on Friday.
According to the press release, the injection of reagents into wells protects underground equipment from corrosion, formation of mineralized and paraffinic deposits, well drainage and other complications.
With the old method, oil companies had to periodically use special vehicles and obsolete pumping equipment to supply reagents, which is inefficient and economically unprofitable compared to the new technology, the company explained.
At the same time, modern systems allow for the use of a wider range of higher quality reagents and a smaller amount of them. They are equipped with remote control and monitoring of pumping equipment, as well as remote control of well pressure. The pumping equipment has low power consumption, which is especially important in the current environment.
“In 2025, the company plans to install 60 new systems complete with a capillary tube for injecting chemicals directly to the wellhead, and plans to purchase more than 50 similar systems,” Ukrnafta said.
“Ukrnafta is the largest oil company in Ukraine and the operator of the national network of filling stations. In March 2024, the company took over the management of Glusco assets and operates a total of 544 filling stations – 461 owned and 83 managed.
The company is implementing a comprehensive program to restore operations and update the format of its filling stations. Since February 2023, the company has been issuing its own fuel coupons and NAFTAKarta cards, which are sold to legal entities and individuals through Ukrnafta-Postach LLC.
“Ukrnafta holds 92 special permits for commercial development of fields. It has 1832 oil and 154 gas production wells on its balance sheet.
Ukrnafta’s largest shareholder is Naftogaz of Ukraine with a 50%+1 share. In November 2022, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to transfer to the state a share of corporate rights of the company owned by private owners, which is currently managed by the Ministry of Defense.
