Ukraine’s largest gas producer has put three more wells into operation.

State company Ukrgazvydobuvannya put into operation three highly productive wells in June, with a total throughput of 425,000 cubic meters of gas per day, reported the Naftogaz Group. The company added that two wells are new, the third was restarted after major repairs.

Using new 3D technology that helps to optimize the exploration and production of oil and gas fields has allowed the launch of 10 new wells, the daily output of which exceeded three million cubic meters, said the CEO of Naftogaz Group, Oleksiy Chernyshov. Another well put into operation after repair operates in a field with almost 30 years of history. Before the repairs, its gas production was insignificant, but after transferring it to the overlying horizon, the well increased its production tenfold.

Overall, during the first half of the year Ukrgazvydobuvannya has put into operation 11 highly productive wells with a production of more than 100,000 cubic meters per day each. Four wells yield more than 300,000 cubic meters of gas per day.
