Vertically integrated oil companies (VIN) accounted for 3,329 wells, and another 328 were commissioned by other hydrocarbon producers. Thus, VINK reduced volumes by 12%, and other market participants — by 13.5%.

The media added that the need to develop hard-to-recover reserves forces domestic companies to increase horizontal drilling.

Recall that today the price of Brent crude oil on ICE exceeded $ 80. This happened for the first time since August 2.
