The comprehensive introduction of the latest achievements of science and best practices in production finds a worthy solution in the fuel and energy complex of Turkmenistan. A striking example of this is the receipt at the beginning of the past year of an abundant flow of oil from appraisal well No. 707, drilled at the Eastern Cheleken field under the control of the Galkynyşnebit Oil and Gas Production Directorate of the Nebitgazçykaryş Trust of the Türkmennebit State Concern.
The well differs from the usual ones in that the drill pipe cores are drilled in an inclined direction – diagonally. This is the first inclined hole drilled on the Cheleken Peninsula during the years of independence of our country. The volume of crude oil currently being produced from this well, which has an onshore heel with walls directed towards the shallow part of the Caspian Sea, is about 12 tons a day.
