LONDON -- Stratic Energy has begun gas production from its Ayazli gas field in the Black Sea offshore Turkey.

Ayazli is the third gas field to start production under Phase 1 of the South Akcakoca sub basin development. The Akkaya and East Ayazli gas fields started production last year. Initial flow rates from Ayazli support operator estimates that production from the field will average over 10 MMcf/d of natural gas.

Operator TPAO has also started well intervention operations to add further perforations on the East Ayazli-2 well, in order to increase production from the field.
