Production increase became possible thanks to systemic work and introduction of the latest technologies in production. In 2021, the company is carrying out its drilling, workover and stimulation program at base fields in Poltava Region. Over the first half of this year, DTEK Oil&Gas put into operation 2 new wells and carried out workover and stimulation operations at 21 wells of the active well stock.

To optimize production at Machukhske field (Poltava Region), DTEK Oil&Gas is implementing a large infrastructure project on construction of a modular refrigeration unit. The company will complete construction in the fourth quarter of this year.

DTEK Oil&Gas also started geological exploration and office studies of new areas – Budyshchansko-Chutivska and Zinkivska areas, which got added to the company’s asset portfolio in 2020.

«Thanks to systemic investments and introduction of innovative technologies, DTEK Oil&Gas is consistently building up gas production. Having increased production by over 10% in the first half-year, we are demonstrating our contribution to the achievement of the energy independence of Ukraine not in words, but in deeds», said Igor Shchurov, CEO of DTEK Oil&Gas.
