LONDON (Alliance News) - JKX Oil & Gas PLC on Monday said that well-27 in its Koshekhablskoye field in southern Russia has been restored to production following repairs.
The well is currently producing at a rate of 16.3 million cubic feet per day through a 27/64" choke, with a flowing wellhead pressure of 3,370 per square inch, the company said.
The well was completed, pressure tested and restored to production, followed by a routine acid treatment of the carbonate reservoir to clean out the well and stimulate production.
"Restoration of production from well-27 brings the total field rate to in excess of 45 MMcfd from four wells, comfortably above the original design specification of our process plant. Our next task is to replace the damaged tubing in well-05 and bring it on production to utilise fully the recently upgraded plant capacity of 60 MMcfd," Chief Executive Paul Davies said in a statement.
