In April 2019, Lukoil-subsidiary Ritek discovered a new oil pool in the Tsentralnoye field in Khanty-Mansiysk (Yugra) Autonomous Okrug (Western Siberia). New-pool wildcat Tsentralnaya 1, drilled to 3,187 m in 2016-2017, tested oil at a rate of 31 b/d from the Bazhenov-Abalak Formations (Oxfordian-Berriasian) perforated at 2,612-2,638 m. The well has been suspended until next winter.  Tsentralnoye, discovered in 1987, is located in the Ural-Frolov Province. Before the reported pool, recoverable 3P reserves of a single pool in the Tyumen Formation Unit Yu4 (Middle Jurassic) were estimated at 26 MMbbl of oil.
