Burisma Group achieves 70% success rate in Ukraine hydraulic fracturing operations

05/04/2019

According to the results of 2018, the percentage of successful operations by the method of intensifying the operation of gas wells of the Burisma Group reached 70%.

“Hydraulic fracturing (hydraulic fracturing) has allowed to “revive”wells, where gas production by traditional methods has become unprofitable due to low production rates. In particular, all wells in the Rakitnyanskoe field gave an additional flow. In addition, the use of hydraulic fracturing allowed to get oil on Borislav Square, which was not there before, ”said Taras Burdeyniy, CEO of Burisma Group.

Burisma Group actively began to implement hydraulic fracturing on its own fields in 2016; Today, more than 10% of the wells drilled in the company's fields use this technology.

Burisma Group provides engineering support for hydraulic fracturing operations. Also, the Group accompanies complex operations or work in the implementation of new technologies at all stages - from design to implementation at the field.

“Successful high-tech hydraulic fracturing is a deep and comprehensive study of each stage, ensuring optimum efficiency precisely by selecting design parameters for each particular well. Actually, the company is today the leader in computer modeling of processes, developing its own software products for predicting the effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing,” says Taras Burdeinny.
