Monday, April 26, 2004 Wintershall plans to complete drilling a first exploration well at Tyuleniy Island, close to the Dagestani Caspian coast, in April 2005, company executive Bernhard Schmidt said after a meeting with Dagestan State Council Chairman Magomedali Magomedov on Wednesday. The Wintershall executive said that the company hopes to discover a large bed of oil and gas in this section of the Caspian shelf. He said that preparatory geological exploration work is currently underway. The company Megatron NVK has been carrying out this work for the past year and a half. In 2003 the German company acquired a70% stake in Megatron NVK, which has exclusive rights to search for oil at one of the blocks in the Russian section of the Caspian Sea. Schmidt refrained from estimating the cost of the project, and said that the commercial volume of the resources at the field is not yet clear. The press center for the republic's State Council and government said that Magomedov expressed his satisfaction with the geological work carried out by Wintershall and said that the authorities are ready to set up the necessary conditions for the company to operate profitably. Wintershall CEO Reinier Zwitserloot said in March that his company plans to make Russia one of the main regions of its activity. He said that with this aim in mind Gazprom and Wintershall founded the joint venture Achimgaz last year to produce natural gas in Yamalo- Nenets autonomous district. The company's oil and gas production increased 7% to 8.6 million tons last year, with natural gas production up 21% to 6.1 bcm. http://www.rigzone.com/news/article.asp?a_id=12607 *** |
