Volga Gas provides an update on development of its Dobrinskoye gas and condensate field and to update on related operations.

Dobrinskoye well #26 sidetrack

The Dobrinskoye well #26 has been successfully sidetracked and tested.

The sidetrack encountered the upper section of the producing Evlansko-Livenskiy carbonate reservoir as expected at a total vertical depth of 2342 metres, four meters higher than at the original vertical hole. The well was completed with a fourteen metre deviated open hole section (eight meters vertical) in the producing interval.

The well has been tested with a 10 mm choke and produced at a stabilized rate of 136,500 cubic metres (4.8 million cubic feet) of gas per day and 62.8 cubic metres (395 barrels) per day of condensate (a total of approximately 1,195 boepd). The condensate ratio is 460 cm3/m3 (82.3 barrels per million cubic feet).

Volga Gas plans to operate the well with an 8mm choke and expects production of approximately 100,000 m3/d (3.5 mmcf/d) of gas and 45 m3/d (280 b/d) of condensate (close to 900 boepd in total).
