JSC Ukrgasvydobuvannya has increased gas production by 3 billion cubic meters due to 330 hydraulic fracturing (HF) operations for the period from September 2016 to February 2019.
Ukrgasvydobuvannya gathers together the representatives of the existing and potential contractors for review of the production plans for the current year and the following ones, technical policies for the next few years, as well as significant procurement data.
Since no new hydrocarbon deposits are discovered, JSC Ukrgasvydobuvannya increases production on existing deposits through innovative technological operations aimed at liquid removal from the wells that have not been operated for a long time or operated with periodic interruptions.
In the context of stunted development of resource portfolio, JSC Ukrgasvydobuvannya is looking for the ways to increase natural gas production in existing fields. The Company has launched the sidetracking project in the wells of idling well stock that could not be returned to the producing well stock by other methods.
In January 2019, JSC Ukrgasvydobuvannya transferred 5 % of rent payments, that is UAH 124 million, to local budgets of different levels in 11 regions where the Company carries out hydrocarbon production.
Ukrgasvydobuvannya as a socially responsible company builds partnership relations with communities in the regions of its activity. For instance, the modern robotics training classes from BroBots IT Hub were opened in two schools in the Kharkiv Region using the funds of Ukrgasvydobuvannya.
