According to him, the company also managed to eliminate technological deficiencies and launch the 88th well.
“After the drilling was completed, we received a flow of high-pressure formation water from the upper horizons. We carried out repair and water isolation works. Consequently, we increased production by 170 thousand cubic meters of gas and 30 tons of condensate per day,” he said.
In addition, “UNB” plans to soon complete commissioning of the booster compressor station, which will slow down the natural decline in production.
