LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Block Energy announced the start of preparations at well 38Z on its flagship West Rustavi field on Thursday, ahead of its planned horizontal sidetrack operations.
The AIM-traded firm said well 38Z was one of four wells scheduled to be sidetracked across the field, in which Block now held a 100% working interest.

"Well 38Z is analogous, adjacent and updip to well 16aZ, where Block resumed production last month," the company's board said in its statement.

"Both wells target the same Middle Eocene formation.

"The company will draw on the valuable experience gathered from the drilling of well 16aZ to optimise the completion design for well 38Z."
