PJSC Ukrnafta plans to conduct 3D seismic surveys in the west and east of the country in areas with a total area of 320 square kilometers in 2024.

“In 2024, seismic research in the west is planned in a volume of 200 sq km in several license areas. In the eastern region, 3D research is planned in three fields, with a total technological area of about 120 sq km,” the company said in a press release on Wednesday.

As it noted, Ukrnafta specialists will thus be able to create the most accurate geological models of objects and successfully drill new wells to increase production.

Currently, the company is carrying out large-scale seismic surveys using 3D technology in the west of the country with an area of 77 square kilometers.

“Modern technological equipment is used there - a wireless system - almost 19,000 simultaneously operating accelerometer sensors,” the document states.

In the east, using a cable data recording system, including 6,000 geophones (4,320 sensors operate simultaneously), 98 square kilometers are being studied. .

“Since both sites have difficult surface conditions - mountains in the west and swamps, forests and rivers in the east - a combination of different types of sources is used to minimize the loss of primary information and achieve the best possible results: vibration and explosive,” the company informed.
