Exploration well drilling launched at the Shirotno-Rakushechnaya prospective structure, located north of the field. IN AND. Grapple.
The design depth of the well is 1650 m. The sea depth at the point of the well is 4.5 m. Drilling is carried out from the Astra self-lifting floating drilling rig, designed for work in shallow water. Within this structural-tectonic zone, deposits were discovered to them. Yu. Korchagin (in 2000), them. IN AND. Graefer (in 2001), them. V. Filanovsky (in 2005).
