KYIV, Aug 15 – Ukrgazvydobuvannia (UGV) launched two more wells with a total flow rate of over 430,000 cubic meters per day, the press service of the Naftogaz group reported on Tuesday.

According to it, the first of the wells is the exploration one, its depth reached 5,850 m. The field where it was drilled was discovered 40 years ago. Based on the results of the 3D seismic surveys, geologists continued the additional exploration of the field and found new promising points for drilling.

The second well was drilled at a 55-year-old field. Due to significant depletion, its production has declined quite rapidly in recent years.
