Second well test of Dambořice 9

The last drilling here was in the summer of 2023. While the frogs were croaking then, now, at the end of winter, there are plenty of hares and deer roaming the surrounding fields. And in the evenings, beavers are regularly seen cupitating in the adjacent Burnt Creek.

The original "nine" targeted the horizon at a depth of 3,100 metres and drilled essentially perpendicularly downwards. Dambořice 9A is targeting a similar depth, however, a deviation is made at 900 metres. This means that the original borehole is being sidetracked.
"The deviation is to a position that is 50 metres structurally higher, 800 metres from the original target. It's at an angle of about 30 degrees," explains Tomas Baldrián, director of the geology department at MND.
And why is it being drilled again in the same place? Simply because the original project did not turn out positively, but provided very promising information.
"The Dambořice 9 well intercepted a 250 metre complex of palaeogene sands. We tested the surface of the complex and achieved an inflow of reservoir water with a percentage of oil - up to 12 percent. This indicates that we could be somewhere close to the oil-water contact of the oil reservoir, which is in a higher structural position," added Tomas Baldrian.
The Dambořice 9 prospect is analogous to the Borkovany deposit in the deeper part of the palaeogene fill of the Nesvačil trench. Prospective resources (expected reserve size) here are 330 million cubic meters of gas.

MND's plan for Ukraine: to be the country's largest foreign oil and gas producer within three years

Horizons (a subsidiary of MND Ukraine) is working on two licenses in western Ukraine, with the Tynivskaya license now ramping up and very promising. The first exploration well has exceeded expectations. Once the necessary infrastructure is completed, it will start producing gas. Horizons has seen production decline in the war years, but this trend should now reverse.
