Historical aspects of drilling of oil and gas wells – from project to practice (look from the past in the future)

The article covers the history of deep oil and gas wells drilling in Ukraine during the last century. Particular attention is paid to the drilling of ultra-deep vertical wells with a depth of more than 6000 meters, and the drilling of branched-horizontal wells onshore and offshore. According to the...
