Annual Report 2012 19Prospecting work in the Denisovskaya Depression(Komi Republic)A total 23.4 thousand meters of prospecting and explorationdrilling was carried out in the Komi Republic and five wellswere completed, of which four were productive (80% drillingsuccess rate). Exploration wells № 2 and 4 at the Vostochno-Lambeishorskoye field were completed and transferred to the fieldoperator. They are now operating with daily flow rates of about600 cubic meters.Prospecting drilling in the Baltic SeaLUKOIL carried out exploration work both onshore in KaliningradRegion and on the Baltic Sea shelf during 2012. Total drilling was6 thousand meters and 100 km of 2D seismic work was carriedout at the Yuzhny license area. Drilling of prospecting well № 1in the Baltic Sea was completed (the distance drilled in 2012 was4 thousand meters). The well is now being tested. A firstprospecting well was also drilled at the Yuzhno-Volodarovskayastructure (1,930 meters drilled).Prospecting work in UzbekistanAt the Kandym block wells Parsankul-9 and Parsankul-10 werecompleted and testing gave daily gas inflows of 90 thousand cubicmeters and 196 thousand cubic meters, respectively. Preparationswere made for 3D seismic data acquisition and 450 km 2 of 3D workwas carried out. The geological model of the Parsankul field wasupdated in 2012 and rapid assessment of C1 hydrocarbon reserveincrement from the new wells was made.Drilling work was completed in the South-West Gissar projectand well Shurdarye-2 was tested. Testing of Upper Carbonaceoussediments gave daily commercial inflow of gas and condensate atrates of 647 thousand cubic meters and 95 tonnes, respectively,marking discovery of the Shurdarye field.Fact Book, p. 24Analyst Databook, p. 5>3D Seismic exploration, km 2Spending on geological exploration, $ millionVertical seismic profiling, wellsExploration drilling, th. meters
