Specialists of Uzbekneftegaz JSC conducted 3D seismic surveys in order to restore and develop the hydrocarbon raw material base, Trend reports with reference to the press service of Uzbekneftegaz JSC.
In January-August 2020, 3D seismic work was carried out at the Gazli and Uchkir fields on 440 square km. As a result, the construction of 16 wells was completed, and prospecting drilling began at 4 new locations.
As a result of drilling operations from nine wells (South Kulbeshkak-3, Shorkum-2, Urtabulok-1, Severny Urga-2, Tumaris-5, Andakli-3, Urtakum-1, Shortak-2, Yuzhny Akkum-1) 1,374 cubic meters of natural gas and 25,500 cubic meters of condensate per day were obtained, and gas condensate fields Yangi Urtakum and Yuzhny Akkum were discovered.
