The issue of the existence of gas fields in Georgia has become active again. Specialists and representatives of the state sector do not doubt the existence of certain "prospective resources" in the territory of our country, although most of them think that the reserves are not noteworthy. According to official data, there are about 50 fields where there is a prospect of oil and gas. Of these, 10 are black. There are structures on the sea shelf that are likely to hold oil and gas reserves.
The discovery of a large gas field in Turkey raises a little hope that, depending on the geographical location, there may be some strategic reserves, which the Oil and Gas Agency has repeatedly stated. At this stage, the agency is spreading information that they are planning to start seismic surveys in Samegrelo, Khobi district village Chaladid this year.
According to the agency, there is a high potential for oil and gas extraction in Chaladid. Drilling of the well will be started in parallel with the studies.
"This is a place that was scouted during the communist era, they saw quite a high potential there. Then the attention shifted to Eastern Georgia. Most likely, there is a mixed deposit there, and along with oil, there is also gas. Let's see what the seismic survey, which is planned for the summer, will show us. At the same time, one well will be drilled," said Giorgi Tatishvili, head of the Oil and Gas Agency, a few days ago.
The presence of gas and oil reserves on the territory of Georgia is confirmed by Giorgi Vashakmadze, the head of the Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline and White Stream project implementing company, with Business-Resonance.
"We had high hopes for the Black Sea shelf, but there, on the Turkish side, the existence of this stock was not confirmed. If it was successful, drilling works would be carried out on our side as well. Despite this, there are territories in Turkey where the existence of gas reserves has been confirmed, and the country has high hopes for this. We also have some reserves, but it is too early to talk about strategic deposits. There are small deposits, which is confirmed by the activity of "Frontera" in Georgia.
