OMV Petrom executive board member Peter Zeilinger said: “Multilateral drilling is a new technology that allows us to reach different target zones within a reservoir through a single well.

“Multilateral wells allow us to recover additional resources from our mature fields and to increase production, while managing costs. I am proud that this new technology was successfully implemented in OMV Petrom.”

The company has invested a total of about €30m for drilling the well and connecting it to existing infrastructure.

“Multilateral drilling is a new technology that allows us to reach different target zones within a reservoir through a single well.”

The two branches of the well LVO7 were drilled at a length of around 3,200m, and 2,200m below the seabed.
