New Asia Holdings Inc. has selected Olenox Kansas to operate 181 natural gas wells in the Bradshaw portion of the Giant Hugoton Field, the largest natural gas field in North America, Olenox announced Aug. 8.

Olenox will introduce modern pumping and monitoring technologies to increase field efficiencies, reduce costs and protect the environment during the operation of these stripper wells, the company said.

Operations on the wells will be conducted on 61,945 acres that extend nearly 80 miles through Greeley and Hamilton counties, Kansas. The Hugoton complex has produced over 26 Tcf of gas since its discovery in 1926. 

“We have completed the necessary agreements with the Kansas Corporation Commission and have begun our field operations at the start of this month,” Olenox CEO Michael McLaren said in a press release.
