Regal Petroleum plc, British public company (a part of Smart Energy Group), announced an updated assessment of reserves at Vasyschyvske gas and condensate field in Kharkiv region. The study estimated considerable increase of 1P and 2P reserves.

In particular, at an average estimation prospective resources of natural gas in the amount of 1.2 bln m3 are attributed to the Vvedenska prospect, which is undrilled as of today.
The assessment of reserves and prospective resources has been conducted by independent international consultants according to PRMS.
The Report meets the targets of Smart Energy Group about the development of Vasyschyvske field including further production from four existing wells as well as drilling of three additional wells for extracting reserves 2P and 3P.
