In 2017, Gazprom, a Russian gas holding, and Wintershall, a Germany's largest crude oil and natural gas producer, will drill the second well within the framework of a joint Winchelsea project being implemented in the North Sea, according to the Russian company’s report.




In accordance with the license commitments on the project in 2016, the first exploration well has been drilled. Following the testing of the well, Winchelsea gas field has been discovered.

As a result of the drilling of a second exploration well, a gas bearing capacity of the new unit should be confirmed and the future prospects determined.

As a reference, Gazprom International holds a 20-percent stake in the project of Winchelsea in the British sector of the North Sea. This project is carried out under licenses and joint venture agreements by a consortium of companies comprising Wintershall Noordzee (a joint venture of Wintershall and Gazprom) – 49.5%, Gazprom International – 20%, Gas Union (Germany) – 15% and XTO UK (United Kingdom) – 15.5%.
