Gazprom Neft commissions new production wells at Prirazlomnoye field
ST. PETERSBURG -- Gazprom Neft subsidiary Gazpromneft-Shelf has commissioned two new production wells at Prirazlomnoye field, bringing the total number of wells in operation at the Prirazlomnaya platform—the only oil production project on the Russian Arctic Shelf—to 10: six production wells, two injection wells and one absorption well.
The total length of the two new wells is over 8 km. One of the new wells is equipped with a domestically produced ESP—the first instance of such equipment being used on the Russian Arctic Shelf. Initial operation of the new facility has, already, seen production at that well reach 1,760 tonnes per day.
The development of Prirazlomnoye field, which lies in the Pechora Sea, envisages the commissioning of a total of 32 wells.
