CJSC Rospan International (part of TNK-BP Group) has got new commercial oil flow at exploratory well 25 of Tagulskoe field thus confirming the field geological model, which will allow enhancing the field development performance.
The model of Taguslkoe, with estimate oil reserves at 1.7 bln bbl (3P PRMS), has been developed by specialists of Tyumen Petroleum Research Center (part of TNK-BP Group) on the basis of previously obtained exploration data, with application of advanced technologies, and constitutes one of key stages of the asset development action planning. New commercial oil flow came from the reservoir section recommended for testing by specialists of the Northern West Siberia Exploration Department, TPRC.
