This basin is located in European Turkey, west of Istanbul and covers an area of some 20,000 square kilometers. Prior to Amity commencing drilling activities, exploration of this basin has resulted in the discovery of 13 commercial gas fields and 3 oil fields.
Exploration continues today in an effort to meet high gas demand from extensive local industry.
Final analysis of the Gocerler-1 production test indicates the perforated section of the well can produce a tubing limited 19 million cubic feet per day. That is to say, if the tubing restriction was removed, the well would flow at a higher rate. Gocerler gas is a high quality sweet gas which contains approximately 5 barrels of condensate per million cubic feet which will be separated from the gas at surface and sold independently. The Joint Venture identified a market in the Misinli Industrial area, some 18 kilometres South of Gocerler. Initial sales of some 9 million cubic feet of gas per day are anticipated to two non-government power stations at Misinli.
