“Ukrnafta” invites investors to participate in workover of 20 wells

PJSC Ukrnafta is launching a revitalization program and invites investors to participate in the restoration of the first 20 wells.

“An important part of the company’s strategy to increase production is the restoration of already drilled but abandoned wells that have prospects through the use of modern technologies,” the company said in a press release, citing Ukrnafta CEO Serhiy Koretsky.

Currently, 4222 such wells have been identified, of which 2100 are within Ukrnafta’s special permits, 700 of which are within the reserve contours.

“The company has selected 30 wells out of these 700 for the pilot. 10 will be restored on our own, and a tender is announced for 20. The company invites partners to help restore production at these sites by drilling horizontal sidetracks,” the document explains.

The company offers a deal based on the Risk Service Agreement, under which the investor must pass compliance and get access to the Virtual Data Room with information about the well.

“Ukrnafta, for its part, together with specialists, is forming a pool of wells, from three to 12, which will be restored by drilling at the expense of partners. The cost of restoring production from the wells is determined by bidding in the Prozorro system.

Subsequently, Ukrnafta receives an additional resource and pays for the revitalization using the funds from production from the restored wells. The partners, for their part, receive a share of the additional production from the revitalized wells.

“Any Ukrainian and international company that passes the compliance procedure can join,” the company said.

As reported, in 2023 Ukrnafta increased oil and condensate production by 3% (by 39.9 thousand tons) compared to 2022 – up to 1 million 409.9 thousand tons, gas production by 5.8% (by 60.4 million cubic meters), up to 1 billion 97.4 million cubic meters.

The company’s strategic goal is to double oil and natural gas production to 3 million tons and 2 billion cubic meters by 2027, respectively.

“Ukrnafta is the largest oil company in Ukraine and operates a national network of 537 filling stations, of which 456 are in operation. The company is implementing a comprehensive program to restore operations and update the format of its filling stations. Since February 2023, Ukrnafta has been issuing its own fuel coupons and NAFTAKarta cards, which are sold to legal entities and individuals through Ukrnafta-Postach LLC.

Ukrnafta’s largest shareholder is Naftogaz of Ukraine with a 50%+1 share. On November 5, 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 now managed by the Ministry of Defense.
