On August 15, practical work began to close an emergency well at the "25 Years of Independence" field in the Boysun district of the Surkhandarya region. Uzbekneftegaz reported this.
In this regard, the chairman of the management board of Uzbekneftegaz JSC, Abdugani Sanginov, the hokim of Boysun district, Bakhodir Shukurov, and other officials visited the field and met with activists of the "Kofrun" village as well as specialists from China's CNPC corporation participating in the project.
At the meeting, the work to be carried out within the framework of the emergency well closure project and safety measures were discussed. A conversation was also held with the local population.
Let us remind you that on September 1, 2024, during drilling operations at well No. 604 in the field, hydrogen sulfide leaked as a result of a disruption of the technological process. Following the incident, residents living in the nearby area were evacuated to safe places.
