HOUSTON, May 1 -- Imperial Energy Corp. PLC, London, has fraced three of four wells on Block 77 in Snezhnaya oil field in the Tomsk region of Western Siberia.
Wells 136, 138, and 139 are all on stream. The 137 well is due to be fraced this month. The wells complement Block 77 wells 133, 135, and Dvoinoye 2, all of which were fraced in the first half of 2005.
The Dvoinoye 2 well reached a stable production of 400 b/d of oil after an electric submersible pump was installed. Imperial said it plans to install pumps at other wells in Snezhnaya field, and expects to achieve production of 1,500-2,000 b/d from the block by the end of May.
