MOSCOW, September 27. OAO “NK” Rosneft “and ExxonMobil discovered oil by drilling in the license area in the Kara Sea, according to the company’s website.
” JSC “NK” Rosneft “has successfully completed the drilling of the world’s northernmost Arctic hole” University -1 “, which resulted in the discovery of oil in the license area of the East Prinovozemelsky-1 in the Kara Sea,” – said in a statement the company. Drilling was carried out in record time – one and a half months, with absolute compliance with all the technological and environmental requirements.
The water depth at the drilling site is 81 m, the depth of the vertical wells – 2113 m. Well was drilled in the open water – 250 km from the mainland of the Russian Federation.
As specified on the organization’s website, “according to the results of exploratory drilling rock samples obtained by drilling a pilot hole (diameter of 8.5 inches to a depth of 600 m), horizontal core taken. A considerable amount of fundamentally new geological information after processing which can be definitively assess the resource base of an open pit mine. currently under interpretation of geological data, developing a model of the field development “.
The ceremony was dedicated to the completion of the drilling head OAO “NK” Rosneft “Igor Sechin, said:” I can tell you about the opening of the first oil and gas field in the new province of Kara sea. The first oil. This lovely light oil even at the primary results of the analysis is comparable to the kind of Siberian Light. Preliminary assessment of the resource base only for this first open us trapped 338 billion cubic meters of gas and more than 100 million tons of oil, and this is just one of the structures in this field. This is a unique result for the first exploratory drilling offshore on a completely new field. This is our common victory, to achieve it involved our friends and partners of ExxonMobil, Nord Atlantic Drilling, experts Schlumberger, Halliburton, Weatherford, Baker, Trendsetter, FMC. And we want to call it mine “Victory”.
To work on the exploration preceded by a series of detailed studies of the environment: weather, ice conditions, their movements, characteristics of the animal world. “Rosneft” for several years conducting such studies in the Kara Sea, Laptev Sea, the Chukchi Sea. All data are taken into account for planning intelligence for design of future platforms, to determine all the logistics to ensure offshore projects.
“Rosneft” has organized a ten Arctic research expeditions. As a result of this work was completely restored system of meteorological observations in the Kara Sea. Particular attention is paid to biological research, including monitoring the habitat of marine mammals and birds.
It was reported earlier that “Rosneft” and the American ExxonMobil completed drilling in the Arctic October 10.
