Regulation FD Disclosure. |
November 19, 2007 Guernsey, Channel Islands CanArgo Energy Corporation (CanArgo or the
Company) (OSE: CNR, AMEX: CNR) today issued an update on the ongoing operations to prepare the
Manavi 12 well in Georgia for the planned acid fracturing stimulation program.
At the M12 well located on the Manavi Cretaceous oil discovery, the 2 7/8 production tubing and
packer have been successfully removed from the well, and the well has been cleaned to a level below
the planned zone of treatment. The next stages in the preparation of the well include setting a
temporary plug to reduce the interval to be treated and running a 5 frac string in the well so as
to maximise the chances of a successful fracturing operation. Once the reservoir has been
fractured and communication established with the formation, the well will be flow tested.
The stimulation operation will focus on a 230 feet (approximately 70 metres) interval in the upper
part of the carbonate reservoir section. The reservoir has already flowed 40.5o API oil
to surface following the initial matrix acid treatment in April 2007 which demonstrated the
effectiveness of acid to clean the reservoir and stimulate flow, but not sufficient to completely
break through the suspected near wellbore damage. The extent of the formation damage is believed to
be beyond that which can be cleaned using a simple acid stimulation process and hence a more
powerful hydraulic acid-fracturing stimulation treatment is now scheduled.
The acid for the stimulation has been purchased and preparations for mobilising the acid to Georgia
have already commenced. Schlumberger who has been contracted to provide equipment and services are
sending a representative to Georgia this week to meet with the Company in order to finalise
preparations and provide a time frame for the mobilisation of the equipment.
Vincent McDonnell, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, I am pleased that the
production tubing and packer have been successfully and safely removed from M12 following the
earlier technical delays and we can now continue with our preparations for the acid fracturing
stimulation. Our people are doing everything to ensure that this operation will be completed as
quickly, efficiently and as safely as possible. We are in negotiations with Schlumberger to
mobilise the equipment as quickly as possible, but the timing of the arrival of the fracturing
equipment on site in Georgia is not within our control, however, once mobilisation of the equipment
has commenced we will issue a further statement.
The information in this report (including its exhibit) shall not be deemed to be filed for
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), or
otherwise subject
to liability of that section. The information in this report (including its exhibit) shall not be
incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation
language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such
filing.
