By Trend

The Turkmenoil State Concern continues to drill the first ultra-deep exploratory well in the history of Turkmenistan to search for new hydrocarbon fields on the Uzynada prospective area (south-west of the country), said the message of the Oil and Gas Complex of Turkmenistan.

The project depth of the well is 7,150 meters.

“To date, the drillers reached a depth of 4,500 meters: technical pipe fixed with cement mortar has been established at this depth,” the message said.

The drilling rig and ZJ70 DB brand equipment produced in China is used during the work.

The Turkmenoil State Concern last year brought oil production in total to 5.314,547 million tons, which is significantly more than was planned. In general, the overhaul of 679 wells was carried out during the reporting period, and Turkmen fuel and energy complex received nearly 630,000 tons of additional oil.

Earlier, a number of exploratory oil and gas wells were drilled on the new areas of Gamyshlyja, Korpeje, Altynguyi and Ekizak in Turkmenistan.
