The PGNiG Geology and Hydrocarbon Production Branch has completed a test on the Przemysl-290 production well, located in the Ujkowice area north of Przemysl. The test showed a gas flow rate of approximately 150 m3/min.
Drilled in late 2017 and early 2018 to a depth of 2,030 metres, the well is the fourth in the area to yield commercial quantities of gas. By the end of the year, PGNiG wants to drill three more wells, with the first one scheduled for spudding in February. The provider of drilling services is a PGNiG Group company Exalo Drilling.
The Przemysl-290 well will be used to produce gas from the new VIIIa gas pool discovered within the Przemysl field. Although the field has been in production for several decades, PGNiG continues to make new gas discoveries within its boundaries with the use of cutting-edge surveying and drilling techniques.
“3D seismic images have fundamentally changed our view of the geological structure of the deposit. They have prompted our decision to revitalise the field and keep it producing for decades to come,” said Piotr Wozniak, President of the PGNiG SA Management Board.
The Przemysl field is Poland’s largest gas deposit producing top quality gas, which is approximately 98%–99% methane. Since its inception, the field has produced over 64 billion Nm3 of gas.
