Work on Well No. 300 at the Lugovskoye field is continuing. The project has now reached a key stage in preparation for further operations.

A cement bridge is being set in the 1,405–1,375 m interval to isolate the lower section of the wellbore and exclude it from subsequent operations. The bottomhole is being conditioned to a depth of 1,390 m, and the production casing is being reamed — cleaning the wellbore with a special tool.



Next, hydromechanical perforation of the Tournaisian Stage will be carried out to selectively open the formation and obtain inflow. This will be followed by well completion, hydrodynamic and geophysical surveys using a compressor, and, based on the results of compressor operations, bottomhole-zone treatment. 

Running of thermally insulated downhole equipment from the HT Fleet for pilot industrial testing in the Tournaisian Stage is scheduled for early November.
