Petroleum Exploration & Production Sharing Agreement
Republic of Armenia
Dublin, May 2nd 2007
Blackstairs Energy plc announces the signing of a petroleum contract
with the government of the Republic of Armenia; the effective date of
the contract is April 27th 2007. The contract, in the form of a
Production Sharing Agreement (PSA), grants exclusive exploration and any
future hydrocarbon production rights over the areas designated "Blocks
4, 5 and 6". These blocks are located in eastern and southern Armenia
and extend to a combined area of 13,775 sq. km. (over 3.4 million
acres).
A comprehensive programme of geological and geophysical studies and a
2D seismic campaign will be undertaken during the initial phase of
evaluation. Blocks 4, 5 and 6 are currently very lightly explored and
the proposed work programmes will significantly enhance the
understanding of the petroleum geology of the basin.
