Naftogaz has put into operation the Sviatohirsk tight gas field. For the company, this is the first such experience, said CEO of Naftogaz Andriy Kobolev.

“January 14, we began to supply gas to the system of gas pipelines from the Sviatohirsk field, which is located inside the large Yuzovska area that we recently acquired. To make this possible, our specialists from Naftogaz Exploration and Production launched a new gas treatment unit, a 26 km gas pipeline and connected three wells,” he said.

Kobolev recalled that it is more difficult to extract hydrocarbons from dense rocks, “but this is possible if modern technologies are applied.”

“The launch of Sviatohirsk is a good start to start the development of the Yuzovska area as soon as possible, as we promised. In particular, we will not need to build a completely new infrastructure for Yuzovka – at the first stage of its development we will be able to use the facilities that have been built on Sviatohirsk,” said the head of Naftogaz.

The production of tight gas and the development of Yuzovska are among the key projects of the strategy for the development of the resource base of Naftogaz, developed last year.
