Following the results of the Petrogrand's well Zapadno-Ambarskaya N 6, drilled in 2012, the Board of Directors has decided to undertake hydro-fracking on the Well No. 6, on the Nizhnepaninsky license area.
After an extensive review of the drilling results, the seismic data and with the application of modern modelling techniques, the Board believes that the outcome of the fracking will result in the success of a commercial flow of oil needed for the registration of reserves from C3 to C1 + C2.
Work will be carried out as soon as the winter roads are established, which is expected to occur at the end of December.
