The new agreement is a logical progression to the 3-year collaboration on technically complex projects such as the Yuzhno-Russkoe and Semakovskoe gas fields.
As a result of this collaboration, a new record was set at well #1208 in the Semakovskoe field. The longest ERD well (Extreme Reach – with an ERD ratio of 3,46) in the Cenomanian deposit was completed in March 2021.
