Gedikasar

Upper Cretaceous stratigraphy of the Mardin Group contains high-quality conventional carbonate reservoirs. However, successful exploration for this commercial Cretaceous productive horizon is geologically complex and challenging. It requires a detailed understanding of facies change, which is ultimately related to the paleogeography and morphology of the depositional system. To assess the undiscovered petroleum, a sequence of steps is being undertaken proceeding from defining sedimentary basin with seismic or detailed field geological studies, allocating oil reservoirs, defining petroleum systems within the basin, and ultimately assessing the undiscovered petroleum potential of selected locations in the Gedikaşar-Birini Lease. The gravity method was used as the primary geophysical method and the measurements were carried out at 540 locations in order to investigate these properties within the Gedikaşar-Birini Lease.

Contiguous to East Sadak (Oymantepe) Production Field trend, Birini-Gedikasar Production Lease “ARİ/AME-SNR/K/M48-c1-1” covers an area of 15.322 hectares in the cities of Siirt and Sirnak and was granted on April 4th, 2018, for a period of 5 (five) years starting from 04 April 2018. AME is the operator and holds 88% WI in this concession. East Sadak-10 (Birini-2) exploration well was spudded in November 2018, encountered gas and this prospect is being assessed for commerciality.
