A state-of-the-art automated drilling rig has begun operations in Romania. The new technology improves efficiency of operations.
OMV Petrom, the largest integrated energy producer in Southeastern Europe, is running a new drilling campaign using a state-of-the-art automated drilling rig owned by Foraj Sonde Videle.
The campaign is initially focusing on several fields in Oltenia, Muntenia and Moldova, with plans to continue across the OMV Petrom portfolio thereafter. The objective of the campaign is to deliver new resources from mature fields, while improving safety and efficiency of drilling operations. To date, two new gas wells have been completed on time and on budget with increased efficiency compared to traditional methods.
“The new technologies support us to increase production on mature fields and contribute to the minimization of the environmental impact. We are very proud alongside our colleagues from OMV and our partner Foraj Sonde Videle to use one of the most energy efficient onshore drilling rig in the world,” Cristian Hubati, member of the OMV Petrom Executive Board, responsible for the Exploration and Production activities, said.
