At the Guyjik area in the Balkan velayat, drilling is underway at production well № 148 with a design depth of 2 thousand 60 meters.
The work is carried out by specialists of the Department of Körpejeburawişmüdirligi of the State Concern “Turkmenneft”.
As reported in the newspaper “Neutral Turkmenistan”, more than a thousand meters of rocks have already been covered.
Drillers have at their disposal an expensive, powerful Chinese-made J-30T drilling rig, Russian geophysical seismic equipment that provides 3D viewing of hydrocarbon accumulations, as well as units that are efficient and mobile, significantly reducing tripping time.
The new production well is planned to be commissioned for industrial development at the end of this year. According to preliminary technical forecasts of geologists, it will be an oil and gas well, the source notes.
