For information, compared to 13 years ago - the result of 9 months of 2012 - production at ACG decreased by almost 2 times (87.4 million barrels). Thus, over 9 months of 2012, 187.4 million barrels of oil were produced at the ACG field.
In addition, for 9 months of 2023, 136 oil production wells, as well as 53 gas and water injection wells were in operation at ACG. 13 years ago the total number of wells was only 94 (62 production, 32 injection).
