State gas producer Ukrgazvydobuvannya set a record for drilling new wells.

In September 2022, the drilling volume of new wells of the Ukrgazvydobuvannya’s drilling division, Ukrburgaz, reached a record high of 30,222 m. In September, drillers also set a record for daily penetration – 1,504 m. The company drew attention to the fact that they managed to achieve such results even though part of the company’s deposits are still temporarily occupied or are located near the front line and are not operational. It is noted that during the war, drilling has become a key focus because new wells have the most significant effect in compensating for natural losses and increasing hydrocarbon production. Due to the achievements of the drillers, the company plans to increase hydrocarbon production next year.
