DTEK Naftogaz, the largest private gas production company in Ukraine, will become the sole authorized provider of Vertical Scout technology from Turbo Drill Industries in Ukraine.
By introducing advanced American technologies, DTEK will help the Ukrainian oil and gas sector accelerate production, reduce costs, and increase output, directly contributing to strengthening the energy security of Ukraine and Europe.
This marks the first-ever collaboration of this format between a Ukrainian company and Turbo Drill Industries. The agreement allows Ukrainian oil and gas operators to use modern American technology without the constant presence of foreign specialists, ensuring reliable implementation even during wartime and under logistical constraints.
The technology is expected to significantly improve the speed, efficiency, and economic feasibility of drilling operations in Ukraine’s oil and gas industry.
“DTEK is consistently working to help Ukraine fully realize its gas potential and strengthen the country’s role in European energy security. Our partnership with the leading American company Turbo Drill Industries enables Ukrainian gas producers to access world-class technology, ensuring faster, safer, and more cost-effective drilling. This innovative solution will support Ukraine’s potential as the country with the second-largest gas reserves in Europe, enhance our energy independence, and strengthen Ukraine’s position as an increasingly important energy partner for Europe,” said Ihor Shchurov, CEO of DTEK Naftogaz.
The Vertical Scout technology is a reliable mechanical drilling system that stabilizes the well trajectory from the very start of drilling, reducing technical risks and financial costs at great depths. The system provides up to 30% cost savings compared to rotary steerable systems.
