Groysman takes part in launch of Shebelynka gas field upper horizon exploration
Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has taken part in the launch of the exploration of the upper horizon of the Shebelynka gas field in Balaklia district of Kharkiv region.
"This well is extremely important for our independence. Moreover, experts say, they have huge optimism about this field's gas reserves. We will be able to increase our energy independence," Groysman told reporters after the launch of the wildcat.
According to the chief geologist of the gas industrial management of Shebelynkagazvydobuvannia Viktor Zhmurkov, the depth of well is 1.110 m. It is launched on the basis of re-interpretation of industrial-geophysical explorations on the basis of old wells. The test of well No. 250 in the western Shebelynka deposit block showed good results. The commercial well rate of 109.6 cubic meters per day has been obtained from the interval of 695-703 m.
"Taking into consideration, that the depth of the well is small, this year its drilling will be finished, its gas content will be estimated, tests will be carried out and it will be put into operation," Zhmurkov said.
