In December, a new oil field appears on the oil map of Belarus.
It is opened within the intermediate block of regional Rechitsa-Vishanskoe fault of Pripyat Trough. And it was named Ugolskoe. During exploration drilling of Ugolskoe subsalt structure, the exploration well number 1 Ugolskoe with depth 5218 m in developing Semiluki horizon gave oil flow rate with gas at about 39.5 tons per day. Oil of Ugolskoe deposit is classified as unconventional. It is located very deep and is associated with low-permeability reservoirs. A positive factor for the development will be abnormally high formation pressure.
Geological reserves of the new field are estimated at 1 million 695 thousand tons of oil. A more accurate estimation can be made after drilling in the 2017 of exploration well number 2 Ugolskoe.
