LARGE GAS PROCESSING COMPANY UKRGAZVYDOBUVANNIA HAS A SLIGHT RISE IN PRODUCTION

JSC Ukrgazvydobuvannia in January-May 2018 increased gas production by 1% or 0.063 billion cubic meters (bcm) year-over-year, to 6.288 bcm, the company’s press service reported last week. The press service said that this production volume in the first five months of the year was reached for the first time since 2014. “For the fourth consecutive month, the company has been increasing daily gas production within the limits of 1 million cubic meters due to all types of operational activity, but since the existing resource base of the company is almost 70% depleted, the natural decline exceeds the growth. The non-issue of new licenses hinders the development of the new resource base of Ukrgazvydobuvannia,” the head of the company, Oleh Prokhorenko, said.
At the same time, he said that the company from the end of this month overcame the May negative factor and moved to the actual increase in daily production compared to last year.
The press service said that in the third and fourth quarters of 2018, Ukrgazvydobuvannia plans to launch new technological capacities: eight booster compressor stations, an increase of up to 50 tools for work-out of wells of external contractors, ten coiled tubing and nitrogen units, and the launch of new wells of external drilling contractors.

UKRGAZVYDOBUVANNIA DISCOVERS NEW FIELD IN KHARKIV REGION WITH PROSPECTIVE RESOURCES OF 1.5 BCM

JSC Ukrgazvydobuvannia has discovered a new field in Kharkiv region, getting commercial gas inflow of 249,000 cubic meters a day from a wildcat, the company’s press service has reported.
The press service said that at the stage of geological exploration the possible reserves were 0.3 billion cubic meters (bcm) and prospective resources are estimated at over 1.5 bcm.
The company said that after receiving the deposit use license, the field and the well were launched in short terms – in 17 calendar months.
The press service said that the period from the issue of a license to commercial use of fields is from two to four years. If new licenses are issues, next gas inflow could be seen no earlier than in two years.
Poltava Regional Council for two years refused to approve licenses over 60 times, and the country would not receive around 1 bcm of gas in 2018.
“The development of new fields is a laborious process that requires the consolidation of scientific, engineering and significant financial efforts. The receipt of licenses does not guarantee 100% of the start of economically expedient exploitation of a field, especially since this process is stretched in time, therefore the company constantly announces the current problem regarding delays in the issuance of new licenses that have not been solved for a long time,” Director of Geology of Ukrgazvydobuvannia Myron Kucher said.
