The total proven reserves of the Galata gas field prior to production was around 75 billion cubic feet (Bcf). At peak production the field provided more than 16% of Bulgaria's domestic gas needs. Three additional satellite fields located to the East of the Galata gas field were discovered by Melrose. These were the Kaliakra gas field discovered in 2007, the Kavarna gas field discovered in 2008
