Belorusneft has started operations at the third site of Russia’s Far North.

Belarusian specialists with their own equipment perform operations for Arcticgas, JSC that is a part of NOVATEK Company.

Operations are carried out in one of the wells of Urengoi oil and gas condensate field. Coiled tubing and nitrogen units, pumping unit, additional machinery and peripheral equipment are used in the course of work. A set of measures is implemented under the supervision of the External Service Division – a recently created structure within the Enhanced Oil Recovery and Workover Department. The Department is the leading contractor of the Project. The equipment and specialists of the Well Cementing Department and Rechitsa Utility Vehicles Department are also involved in these operations.

Entering the foreign market of oilfield services by  Belorusneft subdivisions gives an opportunity to extend the export of the Company's business units located in Belarus and to establish cooperation with Russia’s oil majors.

Meanwhile, drilling equipment that may be used during operations at the sites of Russia’s Far North is currently being tested in Belarus. The installation of cluster drilling rig has started at Rechitsa oil field.

Its manufacture was organized by Gomel Seismotekhnika, JSC in collaboration with Italian company Drillmec S.p.A. The unit with the hook load of 320 tons is equipped with guide rails for the movement of the drilling rig without mast’s lowering and dismantling of the train within the cluster area. The nominal well drilling depth for this equipment is up to 5 km (16,400 ft).

At well No. 202 of Rechitsa field, the specialists of the Rig Building Department have started the mounting of the unit at the cluster.

It is planned to drill yet another well nearby. It is expected that the unit will be forwarded to the Russia's Far North in the future.
