Tenth production well commissioned at Iraq’s Badra field, Gazprom Neft says
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Gazprom Neft Badra, a subsidiary of Gazprom Neft, has commissioned its tenth production well (P-07) at Iraq’s Badra field.
Together with the other wells at the field, the P-07 well is in free-flow production. With production volumes at the newly launched well now at 6,527 bopd, its commissioning brought daily production at the field to 67,000 bopd.
Three other wells were also commissioned at the field earlier this year, collectively producing 24,000 bopd. The drilling of four further wells—P-10, BD-2, P-14 and P-19—is ongoing, with construction expected to be completed in early 2017.
Construction of oil and gas infrastructure is also ongoing at Badra field, with construction and installation works for the commissioning of the first line of an associated petroleum gas treatment facility now 60% complete.
A third process line was constructed at the field’s central processing facility in June, allowing the facility’s potential capacity to increase to the projected level of 115,000 bopd.
