Frontera Resources has encountered oil pay at its Taribani field in Georgia, after the completion of drilling operations at the second site of the three-well drilling campaign.
The drilling programme was conducted at the Taribani complex, which is situated within the Block 12 licence in Georgia.
According to the company, the Dino-2 well has been sidetracked from existing wellbore and drilled to a vertical depth of 2,700m into the Eldari formation.
During drilling operations, the company identified several oil and gas shows.
Based on drilling and wireline logging data, it was determined that the company encountered 78.8m of combined pay interval of target Zones 9, 14 and 15.
The company noted that there is scope for effective containment of the fracturing stimulation as the cement bond logging indicated a consistent bond across all zones of interest.

By GlobalDataDino-2 has current bottom hole pressures ranging between 6,800psi and 7,200psi.
While drilling through 2,445-2,460m at Zone 12, Frontera encountered formation gas flow, mud weight reduction and oil at the surface.
At depths of 2,570m-2,600m at Zone 14, increased connection gas and formation gas was recorded during drilling.
The drilling rig is now set to be moved to the T-39 well location in order to begin the well sidetracking and drilling operations.
Once drilling rig is moved away from the Dino-2 well location, the company is planning to mobilise wireline and pressure pumping equipment to the site for perforation and mechanical stimulation of the target zones with further well testing.
