OREANDA-NEWS. November 1, 2007. High daily production rate (more than 14 million cubic meters of natural gas) was registered in “28 May” OGED. It should be noted that the production rate was 13.5 million cubic meters during last week. The increase of production rate happened due to placing of two more wells on production. One of them is the new well № 91 in the platform №19. Its daily debit was 150 thousand cubic meters of gas and 40 tons of oil. Another one is the well № 253 in the platform № 14, where development is carried out in 6th gas horizon after repair.

The daily production of the well is 300 thousand cubic meters. Both wells are connected to the high-pressure trunk line lying to shore. Five more wells will be drilled in the oil field by the end of the year. According to the gas program of SOCAR, in 2008 SOCAR’s gas production will be increased twice compared to 2006. In order to achieve this result, SOCAR developed comprehensive program. In accordance with this program intensive works are being carried out in the oil fields under supervision of SOCAR.

Program aims to increase gas production twice in the platforms of “Gunashli” oil field. “28 May” OGED produced 3 billion 162 million cubic meters of gas during 9 months of 2007. It means 1 billion 165 million cubic meters increase compared to the same time period last year. In other word, production increased 58 %. During this period 2 billion 848 million cubic meters of gas was hand over. It is 1 billion 127 million cubic meters more than last year amount. Thus, 65.5 % increase was registered.
