MOL Group’s Croatian subsidiary INA has started its test production in the Vučkovec and Zebanec gas fields in Croatia as part of the Međimurje project, MOL said in a news release.
Incremental production is estimated at about 2,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in second-half 2016 on average and is expected to increase in 2017, the release said.
As part of the project, in which INA has invested US $64 million, five production wells were drilled and equipped along with a total of 100 kilometers of new pipeline, MOL said. Cumulative yield of gas is estimated to be at around 1 billion cubic meters and the vast majority is to be exploited by 2024.
Plans also include extracting carbon dioxide from the fields and transporting it via pipeline to the Žutica and Ivanić oil basins for use in INA’s EOR project.
Production is expected to begin at the Vukanovec Field in early 2017, according to the release.
