When the lockdown was lifted, the company resumed operations on all fronts. On August 23, EDC completed construction of a gas flowline connecting the new Shimoliy Beshkent field with Shurtanneftegaz collecting point. All works are in full compliance with sanitary-epidemiological requirements.

Construction of 11-km-long flowline commenced on August 17. Its daily throughput is 1 million m3 of gas. The connected well’s flow rate is 100,000 m3 of gas and 15 t of oil per day.
