Volga Gas provide an update following the completion of a production test on the VM#1 production well on its Vostochny Makarovskoye (VM) gas/condensate field.

A workover has recently been completed on the VM#1 well, perforating 2,608-2,635 meters (the previously perforated interval remains at 2,695-2,645 meters). The interval was also selectively acid treated. Following these successful workover operations, production tests on the well achieved higher than expected flow rates.

On the first test, the well produced 224,000 m3/day of gas and 103 m3/day of condensate on a 10 mm choke (compared with 160,000 m3 and 68 m3 respectively prior to the workover on a 10 mm choke). The drawdown was only 1.18 atm (compared to 33.7 atm prior to the workover). On the second test, the well produced 274,000 m3/day of gas and 126 m3/day of condensate on a 12 mm choke with only 1.73 atm drawdown. Well head pressure was 156/172 atm.
