 "We can say now that it has significantly helped us to grow reserves at the field and keep our production levels at Samotlor broadly flat in the mid-term perspective," said Francis Sommer, Executive Vice President, Technology, TNK-BP.
TNK-BP announces that Samotlorneftegaz, part of the Group, has accomplished 3D seismic survey at the Samotlor field, which covered a total of 900 km2. The interpretation of the obtained data enabled TNK-BP to discover and start development of seven new oil deposits adjacent to the main production area.
The new 3D seismic survey at the Samotlor field allowed for a detailed analysis of its geological structure. The seismic survey together with other technologies has helped to support a reserves replacement ratio in excess of 100% in the recent years.
TNK-BP intends to complete the 3D seismic activity at Samotlor by the end of 2010 when TNK Nizhnevartovsk will have carried out the final part of the survey covering 250 km2.
