Burisma Group completed the installation of drilling equipment and started drilling two new wells – No. 36 and No. 38 at the Karaykozivske field in the Kharkiv region. By the end of the year, the Group is planning to strike another well.

“After additional interpretation of seismic and well data, we identified a promising area to drill the next well No. 42 at the Karaykozivske field. The projected depth of each well will be more than 5 thousand meters ”, says Burisma Group CEO Taras Burdeinyi.

Successful drilling will allow the Group to increase well capacity for gas and gas condensate production (flow capacity) from 1.5 million to 3 million cubic meters of gas per day. To make this happen, Burisma Group has initiated gas treatment unit (GTU) expansion.

“The upgraded complex is expected to reach its planned capacity by the end of 2019, ” adds Taras Burdeynyi.

GTU is a set of technological equipment and additional systems that collect and prepare natural gas and gas condensate for its delivery to the main transportation system.
