By Fakhri Vakilov -Trend:

The US Epsilon Development Company LLC has discovered a new Karakara gas condensate field in the Kashkadarya region of Uzbekistan, Trend reports citing Uzbek media.

Epsilon discovered a new gas condensate field when testing a new exploration well No.1 at the Karakara structure on August 29.

The productive layer of the field is located in the carbonate mass of the Jurassic period. The well production rate is 500,000 cubic meters of natural gas and gas condensate per day.

In early March 2019, the company received an industrial flow of gas from two wells of the Talimarzhan field. Starting from April 6, 2019, the total volume of hydrocarbons produced by the company reached 1-1.25 million cubic meters per day.

Considering that, Epsilon expanded the local gas pipeline infrastructure at an accelerated pace by building additional pipelines. Previously, produced gas was sent to the domestic market.

Epsilon continues exploration work on the Kultak-Kamyshin block and is developing the Shimoly Girsan, Tolimamarzhon, Devkhona, Chigil, Nazar-Khuduk, Ernazar and Khujum deposits.

The work has been carried out at 12 production and exploration wells since February 2019. During this period, 465 workers and engineering and technical personnel were employed in the company's fields.
