Raduzhny, KhMAO. OAO Varioganneft, OAO NK RussNeft subsidiary, launches sidetracking at its fields.
This technology will allow to increase oil production at the brown fields and to raise efficiency of hydrocarbons recovery from the deposits as well as to resume operation of the oil wells which could not be brought back to production with other methods.
Side tracking allows to develop those formations which were not involved before, as well as the tight oil deposits, which were impossible to recover earlier.
The side tracking program at the fields of Variogan oil block has been being implemented since the end of the last year. 4 wells were commissioned at the oil fields of the Company within the reporting period. Total daily flow rate at the reactivated wells made up 227 tons.
19 wells are planned to be reactivated at the licenses of Varioganneft with sidetracking this year which allows additional oil production in the amount of 86.8 thousand tons.
OAO Varioganneft will continue implementing the activities targeted at stabilization of hydrocarbons production volumes and forming strong trend of production indexes growth.
