Block spuds WR-B1 to target 2.1MMboe at West Rustavi

Block Energy plc has started drilling for 2.1MMboe of recoverable oil and gas at the WR-B1 well at WR-BA location in the West Rustavi field, Georgia.

Results: Block Energy’s technical well planning and engineering screening of several well candidates are in advanced stages (Block Energy)

The company added that it was committed to adding significant production to its operations through a combination of new wells and re-entry and side-track of existing wells.

WR-B1

WR-B1 is the first well to be drilled using the data from the 3D-seismic survey acquired over the West Rustavi licence area during 2019.

The well will target the West Rustavi middle eocene reservoir with a horizontal section approximately 800 metres long and completed with a production packer and a slotted horizontal liner fitted with external swellable packers to provide water shut off capability.

If successful, WR-B1 will be rapidly tied into Block’s early production facility, processing both oil and gas produced from the well.

Prior to the start of drilling, Block and Baker Hughes jointly conducted a geomechanical study to de-risk potential operational challenges.

FUTURE OPERATIONS

Block Energy said that future drilling would incorporate results and lessons learned from WR-B1.

The company added that technical well planning and engineering screening of several well candidates were in advanced stages.
