Naryan-Mar, 9 April - Neftegaz.RU. On April 2, 2018, Zarubezhneft-Production Kharyaga, subsidiary of Zarubezhneft, produced the 20-millionth ton of oil since Kharyaga field commercial development commencement in 1999.
The achievement of this figure became possible owing to the well-coordinated work of all Kharyaga PSA participants. Since the transfer of operatorship in the Kharyaga field development project in August 2016 Zarubezhneft-Production Kharyaga has produced more than 2.5 million tons of oil.
At this, owing to the performance of efficient geological and technical measures, application of front-end technologies and integration of production efficiency improvement programs the company succeeded in not only ensuring continuous oil production process but also in achieving significant decrease of OPEX.
