"We are glad to announce that our development programme is moving full-speed ahead on multiple fronts.
"Our extended production test of WR-38Z has allowed us to thoroughly evaluate the well's performance, and define what we consider to be stable production parameters. WR-38Z promises to be a pivotal well for Block. It has proven our capacity to produce oil and gas at a stable rate from the targeted Middle Eocene formation, and demonstrated the presence of commercial gas at West Rustavi, which our current CPR estimates has some 608 BCF of gross unrisked 2C contingent resources in a number of reservoirs including the Middle Eocene (Gustavson Associates: 1 January 2018). We are working with our Georgian partners to expedite the offtake and sale of gas from the Field. Our gas sales will help meet Georgia's strong demand for energy, to which we are already contributing through regular oil sales.
"We are also excited to announce commencement of operations on well WR-51Z, our third horizontal sidetrack within the past 12 months. We look forward to refining our strategy and programme in light of production at these three wells and the data gathered through our 3D seismic survey.
"Block is hitting the ground running as we enter 2020, implementing an ambitious programme made possible by the team's hard work and the excellent relationships we have developed with our Georgian partners at the local and national levels. Furthermore, we welcome the opportunity the Black Sea exploration tender offers for the further development of Georgia's oil and gas industry. We keenly anticipate updating our shareholders on our progress."
