Why invest
Strategic energy transit hub linking Europe and Asia
Georgia occupies a strategic position at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, serving as a key energy and transport corridor between the Caspian Basin and European markets. Supported by a resilient economy and investor-friendly business environment, the country continues to attract international investment.
At the heart of the South Caucasus, Georgia hosts proven hydrocarbon systems spanning the Eocene, Cretaceous, Miocene and Oligocene formations, offering significant exploration and development potential.
Georgia is a critical component of the Southern Gas Corridor. The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline and South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP) both traverse the country, transporting Caspian hydrocarbons to international markets, and pass directly through Block’s licence area, providing access to world-class energy infrastructure. The Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) extends this network into Europe, while the planned Black Sea Submarine Cable project will further strengthen Georgia’s role as a strategic regional energy corridor. Major export terminals are located at the Black Sea ports of Supsa and Poti.
As a net importer of oil and natural gas, Georgia remains focused on strengthening domestic energy security through increased indigenous production, infrastructure investment and the development of low-carbon energy solutions. This creates a supportive environment for companies capable of developing domestic hydrocarbon resources and carbon storage projects.
Operations employing the full range of modern exploration and production technologies, including 3D seismic, stimulation and directional and horizontal drilling, are facilitated through a regulatory environment supporting a liberalised energy market and stable framework for production sharing contracts.
