The company said that the program is targeting additional gas volumes, which can be commercialised through the Edirne gas plant. Each of the wells, with the exception of Yolboyu-1, is targeting modest volumes and are being drilled within the extensive 3D seismic that has been acquired within the Edirne licence.
The third well in the drilling program, the Yolboyu-1 well was spudded on February 12, 2010. The Yolboyu-1 well differs from the previously drilled wells in the permit.
The company said that it is a step-out and deeper prospect covered by existing 2D seismic only and as such is higher risk but has a potential of up to 7.00 Bcf. The prospect, if successful, will require additional infrastructure to enable it to be bought into production including consideration of expansion of the Edirne gas plant.
