The V. Vinogradov field is located within two license areas, Bolshoy and Olkhovsky. Consisting mostly of low-permeability reservoirs, the field has a complex geology, and is therefore developed using unique technologies while receiving special tax rates to stimulate its development.
The final stage of pilot testing a system unique for Russia was conducted at the field. This system is designed to drill horizontal wells using MSHF for both oil production and reservoir pressure maintenance.
