Block Energy Plc | Index: AIM to the site of well 38Z at its flagship West Rustavi field ('the Field') in preparation for planned horizontal sidetrack operations.

Well 38Z is one of four wells scheduled to be sidetracked across the Field, in which Block now holds a 100% working interest. Well 38Z is analogous, adjacent and updip to well 16aZ, where Block resumed production last month (https://bit.ly/2SRUO2l). 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.  

The Company is also preparing a set of Frequently Asked Questions ('FAQs') for publication on its website to provide stakeholders with ready answers to common enquiries. The Company will announce this update through the RNS Reach service.

This announcement contains inside information which is disclosed in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation which came into effect on 3 July 2016.
