Kyiv.Ukraine.Ukraine Gate-January 13 ,2022-Due to the use of capillary systems increased gas production from old wells by 67 million cubic meters In 2021, JSC “Ukrgazvydobuvannya”.
this was reported by the UGV press service .
“Ukrgazvydobuvannya’s specialists started using capillary systems technology only a year ago, and only this year they managed to increase gas production in old wells by 67 million cubic meters and reduce production and technological losses,” the statement reads.
It is noted that the technology of capillary systems was used in 75 wells. It allows you to intensify gas production in complex wells prone to fluid accumulation.
According to the report, the average payback of installing a capillary system in a well is up to one year. At the same time, Ukrgazvydobuvannya has examples when the payback was less than a month – in particular, at the well №100 of the West Solokhiv field in Poltava region.
