DiscoveryGas was discovered in the Late Cretaceous / Late Paleocene calcarenite reservoir in 1993 by Texaco and its JV partners (Texaco 20% - Operator, Enterprise 20%, OMV 10% and the remaining 50% was held by the State (Bulgarian Committee of Geology and Mineral Resources)). The discovery well Galata 1 was drilled using the Ocean Liberator semi submersible drilling rig. The well flowed at 34 MMcfd (million cubic feet per day) through a 1-1/4" choke.[2] This was the first offshore commercial gas discovery in Bulgaria. Later the same JV further appraised the field with the Galata 2 well and Bogdanov East 1 well. The field was later developed by the UK company Melrose Resources plc. DevelopmentThe development of the field required considerable capital investment by Melrose (supported by the [https://disclosures.ifc.org/#/projectDetail/SPI/11244 IFC]) to construct the necessary onshore and offshore infrastructure of which there was none in Bulgaria. The majority of the development project work was undertaken in 2003 and 2004. This included:
Production from the Galata gas field commenced in June 2004 once all the infrastructure was in place and fully commissioned. Production and ReservesThe total proven reserves of the Galata gas field prior to production was around 75 billion cubic feet (Bcf). At peak production the field provided more than 16% of Bulgaria's domestic gas needs. Satellite FieldsThree additional satellite fields located to the East of the Galata gas field were discovered by Melrose. These were the Kaliakra gas field discovered in 2007, the Kavarna gas field discovered in 2008 and the Kavarna East gas field discovered in 2010. The Kaliakra and Kavarna fields were developed and brought on production on 4th November 2010 utilising subsea wells and tie back gathering pipelines that connect to the Galata production platform and infrastructure. The utilisation of subsea well technology on these two field developments was a first in the Western Black Sea. The Kavarna East field has not yet been developed. OperatorThe current operator of the field is Petroceltic who merged with Melrose Resources Plc in 2012. Petroceltic was acquired by Worldview Capital Management, a Cayman Island based financial fund in June 2016.
