At the moment in five oilfields of Variogan block capital workover operations are carried out by 16 teams of contractor companies, beginning March 2011 it's planned to increase the number of teams up to 18. Due to the increase of the number of teams, by the end of the year the enterprise is going to perform 215 well workovers and to put into operation 29 wells with their further development after drilling.
As part of program on capital workover operations, ОАО «Varioganneft» is going not only to increase the number of teams performing well workover but also implements effective technologies with the use of new equipment in order to shorten the terms of workover realization and to reduce the costs of operations.
