hydraulic fracturing

Twenty years ago the company performed its first hydraulic fracturing on the testing ground  Noyabrskneftegaz’s Karamovskoye field. Since then, the hydraulic fracturing technique has become ever-more sophisticated: today it allows Gazprom Neft to not only stimulate production in Gazprom Neft fields, but also focus on development of  challenging reserves. First …
