Section 7—Regulation FD

Item 7.01.		Regulation FD Disclosure.

April 16, 2008 — Guernsey, Channel Islands — CanArgo Energy Corporation (“CanArgo” or the “Company”) (OSE: CNR, AMEX: CNR) announces that well testing operations resumed today at its Manavi 12 well in Georgia.

The Manavi 12 (M12) well was drilled to a total depth of 16,762 feet (5,109 metres) in December 2006 having encountered a number of significant hydrocarbon shows throughout the Cretaceous carbonate interval which was the primary target in the well. Initial testing responded with limited flow due to either formation damage or lower than expected permeability, but did produce oil (40.5^o API) and gas to surface. It was subsequently decided to acid fracture stimulate a selected reservoir interval and this operation was completed in late January 2008.

Following the acid stimulation, the well was flowed back for a period to recover the frac fluids (spent acid and chemicals). The initial flow-back contained encouraging shows of oil and gas, but the maximum oil cut observed was only 5-7%. It appeared that there was a significant water incursion into the wellbore with no indication as to the source of this excess water. It was noted that following an earlier testing of the well, an oil cut of approximately 50% was observed. Before further testing could be carried out, it was necessary to replace the frac string with proper 2 7/8 inch production grade tubing as planned so as to enable a comprehensive well testing program to be undertaken. This operation involved setting a mechanical plug in the lower completion string so as to isolate and prevent possible damage by well completion fluids to the newly cleaned reservoir, and replace the upper completion. The installation of these components was originally expected to be completed within two weeks, but due to a mechanical failure of the coil tubing unit and subsequent problems with the wireline operation, replacement equipment had to be mobilised to Georgia to complete the operation. This work has now been completed and the well has been returned to flow.

Immediately prior to opening the M12 well to flow, the well head pressure was recorded as 2,200 psi (149.6 atmospheres). The well is currently cleaning up, which may take several days, and is flowing at a rate of up to 1,210 barrels of fluids per day with a flowing well head pressure of 1,885 psi (128.2 atmospheres). The well will be flow tested for a sufficient period through various choke sizes and once flow is stabilized, a wireline-conveyed production logging tool will be run in the well to help locate fluid entry points to the well, attempt to determine the source of the excess water and to evaluate the production characteristics of the reservoir. This testing program is expected to take a number of weeks.

The information in this report (including its exhibit) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liability of that section. The information in this report (including its exhibit) shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
