Ashgabat, January 28 - Neftegaz.RU. The specialists of the Drilling Operations Department (DOD) «Nebitdag» of the State Concern Turkmennebit finished the last year with high indicators.
By the end of 2020, the drilling plan was completed by 121%.

In particular, drilling operations have been successfully completed on 23 wells instead of the planned 19.
Currently, 15 wells produce «black gold».
These successes were achieved due to the excavation of rocks, which in 2020 amounted to 54 455 meters instead of the planned 50 200 meters.

A competent organization of work, compliance with labor protection and industrial safety measures, as well as the use of new equipment help drillers to maintain high rates of production.
The department annually replenishes the fleet of drilling equipment and rigs from leading world manufacturers such as China, USA, Germany, Russia.

The use of new powerful drilling rigs makes it possible to drill wells up to 7000 meters deep.

In the North Goturdepe field, the depth of well № 194 reached 4 700 meters over the past year.

The efficient operation of the production units of the State Concern Turkmennebit is an important part of the implementation of the «Program for the development of the oil and gas industry of Turkmenistan until 2030».
