4.2 Reservoirs
Main producers are fields in theKura Basin with oil from frac-tured volcanic tuffs of Middle Eocene age (Georgia’s biggest oil fields, the Samgori-Patard-zeuli, Ninotsminda, Teleti,South Dome, Rustavi and West Rustavi oil and gas fields with accumulative production of, so far,some 25 million t of oil, were discovered in these rocks in the Near-Tbilisi-Region)
and
Earlier this year, a deep well in Manavi(~30 km east of Tbilisi; planned total depth 4500 m) was spudded to assess a huge anticline with a several 100 m thick Creta-ceous carbonate body from which some oil was tested in two previous wells. Due to technical problems, the well was abandoned in late July 2015 without having reached the target. Georgian geologists feel confident that these Cretaceous carbonates belong to an identical depositional environment north of the Caucasus, in Chechnia, where excel-lent fracture porosity led to production rates of up to 400,000 b/d [11]. In case of success of this ongoing well the E&P industry in Georgia should experience a strong kick into an “oily future
