Drilling of the operation wells on Galkynysh gas field located in Iolotan region, Mary province, has been accelerated, state concern Turkmengas said yesterday.
During five months, 2016 12,081 meters of wells have been drilled here against the plan of 11,380 meters. The drilling works increased by more than 140% against the same period in 2015.
In the past time Turkmengas has purchased five modern drilling rigs able to reach the depth of up to 7000 meters.
The same source said that 7 operation wells have been drilled and ready for trial. Drilling of another 13 wells continued. Till the end of this year we plan to complete construction and put into operation 10 more operation wells.
“Implementation of this project is also urgent, because Galkynysh field will become the main raw material for the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-Indi (TAPI) pipeline,” said the same source.
