UKRNAFTA continues its transition to modern equipment from global leaders: the company has started the implementation of new liquid reagent dosing systems at oil and gas wells.
So far, 30 automatic dosing systems have been installed at wells in the Eastern and Western regions.
The injection of reagents into the wells ensures the protection of underground equipment from corrosion, the formation of mineralized and paraffin deposits, drying of the well, and other complications.
The old method required oil workers to periodically use specialized vehicles and outdated pumping equipment to inject reagents, which was inefficient and economically unfeasible compared to the new technology.
Modern systems allow for the use of a wider range of higher-quality reagents in smaller quantities. They are equipped with remote control and monitoring of pump equipment operation, as well as remote pressure control at the well. The pumping equipment has low energy consumption, which is particularly important in the current conditions.
In 2025, the company plans to install 60 new systems, including capillary tubing for injecting chemical reagents directly into the wellbore. Additionally, over 50 similar systems are expected to be purchased.
The company aims to operate high-quality well equipment with an extended interval between well repairs, thereby reducing hydrocarbon losses due to well downtime and saving costs by reducing the need for well repair crews.
