“Production growth was achieved thanks to significant investments in exploratory drilling in 2018. Wells that were completed last year opened a range of new deposits, and their potential turned out to be a bit better than we had expected. But the company moves forward and beyond. We continue to perform deep drilling, implementing the plans stipulated in the production program of 2019,” commented Vladimir Novikov, Head of the Geology Department of PrJSC MC Ukrnaftoburinnya.
