BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 3. More than 400 wells
have been drilled to date at the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) oil
and gas field block in Azerbaijan, a reservoir engineer at bp,
Gulustan Karimova, said during a special media session in Baku on
technologies implemented by bp, Trend reports.
She recalled that bp began implementing two pilot projects this
year at the ACG field to enhance oil recovery: BrightWater and
IWAG.
"Their goal is to bring additional oil reserves remaining in
place into production.
As ACG moves into a more mature and complex stage of
development, the focus is on managing natural production decline
and more efficiently utilizing the remaining reserves.
To achieve this, the company utilizes large data sets from
various sources, including seismic surveys, wells, production
indicators, and geological models. Data processing is carried out
using high-performance computing and cloud technologies.
Furthermore, in collaboration with a local startup, a digital
tool was developed that integrates data from various sources and
accelerates its processing, enabling more effective decisions on
field management and well planning," she noted.
Karimova also emphasized that bp is using artificial
intelligence technologies to accelerate data processing, improve
the quality of subsurface images, and provide engineers with more
accurate information for decision-making.
