BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 2. The “Absheron”
project involves drilling new wells, constructing a 140-kilometer
subsea pipeline, and implementing solutions for the multiphase
transportation of gas and condensate, the head of TotalEnergies’
representative office in Azerbaijan, Emmanuel de-Guillebon, said
during a panel discussion held as part of Baku Energy Week,
Trend reports.
According to him, as part of the second phase of the Absheron
field development, three new wells are planned to be drilled, with
an expected production of about 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent
per day from each well, with approximately 30% being condensate and
70% gas.
He noted that the project will involve the construction of a
long subsea pipeline approximately 140 km in length, which will
provide a direct connection between the wells and onshore
facilities without the use of production platforms.
Emmanuel de-Guillebon also stated that the project calls for the
use of a multiphase transport system utilizing a low-insulation
pipeline, as well as flow maintenance technologies, including MEG
injection and regular pipeline cleaning using an automatic pigging
system without interrupting production.
"Once it reaches shore, the gas will be sent to a processing
plant near the Sangachal Terminal and distributed both for export
and for the domestic market, while the condensate will be sent for
further processing via the existing infrastructure.
He noted that the project’s initial production level will be
approximately 120,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, taking
into account the current early phase of field development,” he
said.
