In Stavropol region the experts of Production Association Belorusneft carried out 18 operations of hydraulic fracturing

Production Association Belorusneft has already had an experience of cooperation with this company – last year 15 reservoir hydraulic fracturing operations were carried out for them. By the results of work, there was a 3-year contract signed. According to the contract, Belarusian party should perform 18 frac jobs each year.

In 2015, starting with September downhole operations for hydraulic fracturing were performed on the following oil fields: Ozeck-Suat, Velichaevskoye, Pushkarskoye, Zymnyaya stavka, Pravoberezhnoye and Achikulakskoye. According to the experts, working conditions here appeared to be rather difficult. Besides strict Customer’s requirements, the climate of Stavropol region, where day temperatures reach plus 40-45 degrees Celsius made adjustments to the contract execution. One more complicating factor is abnormally high reservoir temperatures –140-150 degrees Celsius. Though, in spite of the difficulties contract implementation by Belarusian specialists had no complaints from the Customer.
