OREANDA-NEWS  RN-Uvatneftegaz, a subsidiary of Rosneft, has started production drilling at the new Nemchinovsky field in preparation for industrial development. This was reported by Rosneft.

It is planned to build more than 30 horizontal wells using the MGRP method. Bush drilling will be carried out by the drilling rig sequentially in 2 directions of movement of the machine, which will optimize the filling of bush sites and reduce the area occupied by production facilities.

Well construction is carried out based on the results of geological exploration, which included 2D and 3D seismics, seismic inversion, drilling of 4 exploration wells with an expanded set of geographic information systems and core sampling. Based on the results of these works, the parameters of the deposit were clarified.

The necessary infrastructure was created at the Nemchinovsky field, which operates autonomously, in a short time, including a 17-kilometer oil collection pipeline and a 35 kV overhead power transmission line, which will provide electricity to the new field.

The Nemchinovskoye field was discovered in 2006. Pravda oil and gas exploration expedition.

Its development was hampered by remoteness and difficult terrain.The implementation of the strategy for the consistent development of the field development centers of the Uvatsky project made it possible to begin the development of the Nemchinovsky field using the infrastructure of the Tyamkin hub, which will achieve a significant synergistic effect.
