PJSC Ukrgazvydobuvannya, part of the Naftogaz Group, has launched a new well with a daily production rate of 110,000 cubic meters of natural gas. This was reported by the company's press service.
The drilled well is an exploratory-production well, with a depth of 5,920 meters.
"Thanks to modern approaches to field development, we have achieved a good result. It is worth noting that the field where the well was drilled is over 45 years old. I would like to thank the entire team for their determination and hard work. We are confidently moving towards our goal – energy independence for the country," said Naftogaz CEO Oleksii Chernyshov.
According to him, since the beginning of this year, more than a hundred new wells have been drilled by state and private extraction companies in Ukraine.
The idea for drilling the well belongs to Oksana Shchyrba from UkrNDIgaz. The result fully confirmed the calculations of the institute's scientists, as reported by Naftogaz.
"The project team plans to drill two more exploratory-production wells at this field. I would like to thank my colleagues for their new developments in gas and condensate extraction from old fields," said Acting CEO of Ukrgazvydobuvannya Serhii Lahno.
