DTEK Oil & Gas this year will conduct a large-scale seismic survey using green technology on a gas-and-condensate field in Ukraine. The recording of seismic data in real time will allow DTEK to assess the quality of data logged during execution, increasing the quality of geophysical information recorded during the course of work.

The cordless “green seismic” technology is connected via wireless systems in lieu of cables, enabling the exploration of complex and ­previously inaccessible landscapes, shortening project-­completion time, and reducing environmental impact. The technology does not require special heavy machinery for installation.

The survey will be the first project implemented within the framework of the DTEK Technology Hub. After successful testing, the results will be submitted to the Hub for replication among member organizations.

Novel digital technologies and innovations across DTEK’s production and administrative processes have saved the company $5.8 million from 2019–2020, according to Maxim Dorokhov, head of the DTEK Oil and Gas Technology Center.
