Turkmenistan, Ashgabat, Dec. 10 / Trend H. Hasanov /
The Turkmenneft state concern provides many opportunities for attracting new companies in cooperation and investments and for expanding the volume of service work and types of operations in oil and gas sector, the official Turkmen source said.
This issue was recently raised in the international oil and gas conference in Ashgabat. In particular, the chairman of the Turkmenneft state concern Annaguly Deryayev said that special companies will be attracted in the area of drilling to complete the well construction and development, ensure the quality of cementation, use improved technologies while opening productive horizons and introduce 'hydraulic well drilling programmes'.
Turkmenneft plans to equip drilling rigs with new tools and technology for opening and developing oil and gas reservoirs without affecting their performance.
Cooperation in the testing of well reservoirs' effects such as the acid treatment of beds, acoustic, vibration effects on the bottom hole formation zone is also of interest to the state concern.
In addition, the state concern is particularly interested in cooperation on issues such as waterproofing repairs, elimination of casing the flow of water in the oil and gas wells as there are individual layers with high abnormal pressure, composed of loose and slightly compact rocks among new open deep-lying Miocene deposits.
Problems with the corrosion of wellhead equipment leading to the formation of plugs in the bottom hole of the well which clogs the operational and lifting tubes causes emergency situations to occur within the exploitation process.
"We are willing to consider the offers of our partners in all these and other problems," the head of the state concern said.
The state concern is increasing its oil production in the old developed fields of Nebitdag, Barsagelmes, Gumdag and Cheleken through the introduction of new advanced technology and high production equipment from Germany, Finland, Canada and the USA.
