Naftagaz drilled 2,000,000 meters for Gazprom Neft

"Rapid growth and qualitative development make us a prominent player in the oilfield services market", says Islam Nazaraliev, CEO of Naftagaz-Drilling, about the news on 2,000,000 meter drilling rate for Gazprom Neft.

Naftagaz-Drilling has been cooperating with Gazprom Neft Group since 2014. 480 wells were drilled during this period, including 319 horizontal and 10 dual completion wells. 157 inclined wells were built, including 2 water wells and 4 exploration wells.

"Two million meters is a very important figure not only for us, but for the entire industry, to say the least," says Islam Nazaraliev. "The industry has recently been facing market saturation by small contractors. We have also faced the need to change, i.e. to upgrade production facilities, purchase new equipment, switch to more efficient software and improve staff skills. Not all players are ready for this. We are glad that we have repeatedly proved the willingness to take responsibility and ensure excellent results to both our partners and colleagues."
