Roscosmos Delivered The First Russian Hydraulic Fracturing Fleet to The Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug For The Production of Hard-to-Recover Oil
The Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering (part of the Roscosmos corporation) supplied the first domestic fleet for hydraulic fracturing (hydraulic fracturing) to the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Hydraulic fracturing technology is one of the main operations in the extraction of hard-to-recover oil reserves.
“The Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering Corporation, with the participation of dozens of enterprises, supplied twelve high-tech units of the hydraulic fracturing fleet to Ugra. The domestic development is intended to increase the production of hard-to-recover hydrocarbon reserves by creating a highly conductive fracture in the target formation to ensure the flow of oil to the bottom of the well,” Roscosmos said.
Until now, all hydraulic fracturing complexes used in oil production were foreign assembled. Roskomos set out to launch mass production of high-tech equipment to meet the needs of the oil industry in Russia.
With the help of the new complex, oil workers will be able to carry out any type of hydraulic fracturing, including heavy-duty and high-speed fracturing in one operation. The fleet is equipped with automation, which makes it possible to monitor and manage the hydraulic fracturing process in real time. The complex is adapted for work on wells in Western Siberia.
Earlier, URA.RU wrote that the first domestic fleet for hydraulic fracturing will be tested at the Yuzhno-Priobskoye field in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Oil companies also plan to replace foreign programs used in oil and gas production with Russian analogues.
