KYIV, April 4 – Ukrgazvydobuvannia plans to start drilling two horizontal wells in 2023, Oleh Tolmachev, Acting General Director of the company, said.

"We will start drilling the first two already this year. We will see the results from them in 2024. We are working on the technological design of such wells," he said in an interview with NV.

According to him, additional pumps and other point moments will be needed for horizontal drilling, as well as the import of certain technological solutions. "But 85-90% of the equipment that will be used in this process is already working at Ukrgazvydobuvannia," Tolmachev said.
