Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC, a part of Naftogaz Group, has commissioned a new well with a daily production rate of 274 tcm of natural gas, the company's press service reports.
According to Naftogaz CEO Oleksiy Chernyshev, the commissioning of the new well increased daily gas production at the field by 17%. The next well in the field is scheduled to be commissioned in August this year.
The new well was drilled in the Poltava region as an appraisal and production well using hydrocarbon-based mud. Naftogaz notes that the peculiarity of the well is that the planned production is located directly under the settlement.
“We managed to drill the well under the settlement thanks to modern drilling equipment, advanced technologies, and the skill of Ukrburgaz specialists, who solved a rather difficult task and drilled a well with a bottom hole of more than 1,300 meters in 4 months. Given the large wellbore angle, Ukrgazpromgeofizyka specialists performed complex logging operations and determined the depth of gas-bearing formations,” said Serhiy Lagno, Acting CEO of Ukrgasvydobuvannya.
In total, in the first half of 2024, Ukrgasvydobuvannya drilled 50 wells, 41 of which were put into operation.
