Gazpromneft expands its resource base at Yuzhno-Priobskoye oil field in the Khanty-Mansyisk Autonomous region

Gazpromneft has been increasing its oil production capacity in the Khanty-Mansyisk Autonomous region. Another production oil well has been built at the Yuzhno-Priobskoye oil field. Its depth was more than 3970 meters, the length of the horizontal section was more than 1500 meters.

A drilling rig BU-3000 EUK-1M equipped with a top drive DQ70BSQ-JH was used for this purpose. A top drive field service support was provided by SLC service engineers working 24 hours 7 days a week with a drilling crew under service agreement with RN-Burenie drilling company.

The DQ70BSQ-JH is one of the high performance models of top drives and provides drilling of the wells up to 7000 meters deep (with a 114 mm drill pipe). The top drive is equipped with two asynchronous frequency controlled electric motors with a power of 500 hp each. This allows to perform drilling with a smooth shaft speed changes in the range from 0 to 220 rpm and with a working torque of up to 65 kNm.
