The Kaliakra East gas field natural gas field located on the continental shelf of the Black Sea, offshore of Bulgaria in the Galata block. Discovered in 1993, it was developed by PetroCeltic, beginning production of natural gas and condensates in 1998. As of 2024–2025, local production from the Galata block, including Kaliakra East, contributes only a small fraction of Bulgaria’s total natural gas consumption, with volumes significantly lower than earlier estimates.[1]
