intensive work is underway to drill exploration wells in order to increase hydrocarbon reserves. In the first half of this year, the construction of 12 exploratory wells was completed, of which 7 received an industrial flow of natural gas.

exploration wells, 8 completed wells are under exploration.

It should be noted that that in the current year, 19 contracts worth a total of 68 million US dollars were concluded to provide the construction of wells with the necessary imported material and technical resources and equipment.

Through these import contracts, supply depots are supplied with reinforcing pipes, drill bits, tubing, screw motors for wells, drill pipes, calibrators and equipment for drilling wells. The wells are fully provided with all material and technical resources and the necessary equipment for drilling.
