Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Turkish Petroleum Corp. has reported that the #1-Tuna venture has now been estimated to contain more than 405 Bcm of gas after identifying an additional 85 Bcm of gas. The deepwater exploration well is located in Block AR/TPO/KD/C26-C27-D26-D27 in the Black Sea. It was drilled 2,115 m of water to a total well depth of 4,525 m. It encountered more than 100 m of gas-bearing reservoir in Pliocene and Miocene sands. The Ankara-based company had previously announced that the well data and geophysical studies at #1-Tuna showed a potential of 320 Bcm of lean gas. It is currently the largest discovery in the Black Sea.
