In mid-January 2019, Belorusneft reported that its wholly owned subsidiary Yangpur made a new oil discovery in the Izvestinskiy license in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug (Western Siberia). In the second half of 2018, Yangpur re-entered well Pyakupurskaya 435 drilled in 1986. The original well with TD of 2,831 m was aimed at appraisal of the north-eastern flank of the Komsomolskoye field. Side-track Pyakupurskaya 435s2 with a total length of 2,365 m targeted the Bogdanovskiy prospect located between the Osenneye and Vyuzhnoye fields. It is understood that oil accumulations were identified in the Tyumen Formation Unit Yu2 (Middle Jurassic) and the Vasyugan Formation Unit Yu1 (Upper Jurassic). After applying fracking stimulation, Yangpur tested oil flow at a rate of 584 b/d from reservoir Yu1. The company estimated 2P reserves of the pool at 4 MMbbl of oil.  The Izvestinskiy license covers 1,036 sq km in the central part of the Nadym-Taz Province and encompasses the Izvestinskoye, Izvestinskoye Vostochnoye, Metelnoye, Osenneye and Vyuzhnoye fields. In 2018, Yangpur produced 3,860 b/d of oil and the new discovery compensated companyâs production.
