New commercial inflows of hydrocarbon raw materials have been obtained at the North Goturdepe field. They confirmed the reserves of black gold predicted by geologists within the North Goturdepe deposit and the shallow waters of the Caspian Sea and the area adjacent to them, including the Central and Western Goturdepe areas.

– Advanced 3D seismic survey methods were used to detect promising and predictive-promising objects in separate blocks of North Goturdepe and blocks of West Goturdepe. Based on the results of the studies, a geological report was compiled and recommendations were issued for drilling prospecting and exploration wells, - explains acting. chief geologist of the State Corporation "Türkmengeologiýa" D. Meredov.

Expeditions of prospecting and exploratory drilling of the State Corporation "Türkmengeologiýa" at the North Goturdepe field began the construction of one prospecting (No. 19a) and two exploration (No. 7a, No. 242) wells. As a result of the development of exploration well No. 19a by the Lebapnebitgazgözleg expedition, commercial oil inflows and an increase in reserves were obtained. The well has been put into operation.

At present, exploratory well No. 7a, which was completed by the Balkannebitgazgözleg expedition, also received industrial oil inflows and an increase in reserves from the lower red-colored strata of the Pliocene deposits of this field. The well has also been commissioned. In the future, it is expected to receive inflows, as well as an increase in oil reserves from the overlying medium red-colored strata of the Pliocene.

Another exploratory well, No. 242 of the Lebapnebitgazgözleg expedition, is at the final stage of drilling. According to the conducted geophysical studies of the well, the passed section is also distinguished by its positive characteristics, and in the future, inflow and growth of oil reserves are expected.

In November of this year, the subdivisions of the State Corporation "Türkmengeologiýa" began installation work of another exploration well No. 18a at the North Goturdepe field.

Geologists believe that prospecting and exploration work at this deposit will further provide an additional increase in black gold reserves.
