Ukrgasvydobuvannya has drilled a new appraisal and development well with TD 3,885 meters at the brown field. The new well tested a high gas flow rate - about 400 KCM/D.

The idea of drilling this well belongs to the young UkrNDIGas reservoir engineering team, which assessed the residual potential of this field, successfully identified the well location and substantiated the high potential of this area.

While drilling through the pay zone, OBM was used by Ukrgasvydobuvannya professionals, which significantly reduces the risks of reservoir damage. The well was drilled in 105 days, which is almost 30% faster than the project timeline. While drilling the well, the drillers set a daily single-team drilling record – in 24 hours they drilled 905 meters!

- While drilling the well, all branches were working smoothly and as a single team: by optimizing the rigging down period, early preparatory work, which in turn accelerated the connection of the well to the field surface facilities, the well was put into production a few days earlier than the project deadline with a high flow rate, – Oleg Tolmachev, acting CEO of Ukrgasvydobuvannya, comments.
