Petroceltic International has announced the successful tie-back of a new production well on the Kaliakra gas field, offshore Bulgaria.
The well was completed with a subsea wellhead and connected to the existing Kaliakra pipeline for export via the Galata platform. The well and flow line works were performed by the GSP Prometeu jack-up drilling rig and Big Foot 1 lay barge and finished on September 10.
The new well has been flow tested at rates in excess of 12MMcf/d and is currently being produced through the Galata facilities, which are shared with the Galata and Kavarna fields.
Once the production from the three fields has been rebalanced, the combined rate is expected to stabilise at around 30MMcf/d. Petroceltic holds a 100% working interest in the fields and associated infrastructure.
