Ukrgasvydobuvannya JSC, a member of Naftogaz Group, has launched a new well with a daily production rate of 107 tcm of natural gas per day, the company's press service reports. The new well is an appraisal and production well with a depth of 3,715 meters.
According to UGV, the high flow rate was achieved due to the intensification measures, including three stages of hydraulic fracturing. The well was completed using a coiled tubing unit.
“The idea of drilling the well belongs to an experienced geologist Mykola Yavodchak, who has been working at Ukrgasvydobuvannya for more than 25 years. I thank him and the entire team for the good result,” said Serhiy Lagno, Acting CEO of Ukrgasvydobuvannya.
The well was drilled by the Shebelynka Drilling Division at the old gas condensate field, which has been developed since 1978. Despite this, the field has significant residual reserves of more than 900 mcm of natural gas.
