Frontera Resources Announces Commencement Of Gas Production Operations At
Mtsare Khevi Gas Complex In Georgia
FRONTERA RESOURCES CORPORATION ("FRONTERA" OR THE "COMPANY")
Houston, Texas, U.S.A. - 4 April, 2014
Frontera Resources Corporation (London Stock Exchange, AIM Market - Symbol: FRR), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company ("Frontera" or the "Company"), today announced that it has begun gas production operations at the Mtsare Khevi Gas Complex in the country of Georgia.
Following the update released on 20 January 2014, Frontera has completed commissioning of the gas gathering and transportation infrastructure at the Mtsare Khevi Field, situated within the greater Mtsare Khevi Gas Complex. Production has now commenced into the new system and associated 14 kilometer transportation system which will accommodate production from existing wells throughout the field at a planned rate of approximately two million cubic feet per day of gas (57,000 cubic metres per day).
The Mtstare Khevi Field is situated within a larger play area of approximately 80 square kilometres referred to as the Mtsare Khevi Gas Complex and encompasses gas targets found between 300 metres and 5,000 metres in depth. Based on Frontera's internal estimates, analysis has revealed significant gas potential throughout this area of up to approximately 1.2 tcf of gas in place (28 billion cubic metres) and up to approximately 700 bcf of recoverable gas (19.8 billion cubic metres). Ongoing geologic studies related to existing well data associated with the Complex continue to provide support for defining the extent of the identified potential throughout the greater Mtsare Khevi Gas Complex. Gas production from the Mtsare Khevi Field will contribute to the assessment of the Complex's potential. Independent assessment is expected to take place in 2014.
