BAKU, Azerbaijan, Aug.6. In H1 2026, the Shah
Deniz field’s production remained unchanged from the first half of
2025.
“The field produced around 14 billion standard cubic metres of
gas and about 2 million tonnes (around 15 million barrels) of
condensate in total from the Shah Deniz Alpha and Shah Deniz Bravo
platforms,” said bp.
During the first six months, the Shah Deniz field continued to
provide gas to markets in Azerbaijan (to SOCAR), Georgia (to GOGC),
Türkiye (to BOTAS), BTC in multiple locations and to buyers in
Europe.
“The existing Shah Deniz facilities’ production capacity is
currently about 76.8 million standard cubic metres of gas per day
or approximately 28 billion standard cubic metres per year,” the
company said.
The Shah Deniz 2 project
bp noted that in the first half of 2026, Shah Deniz 2 progressed
with the subsea execution scope of the West flank wells, achieving
the start-up of the fifth well on this flank in April.
“While the Shah Deniz 2 activities, including the delivery of
the remaining wells within the project, remain the primary mission
for the subsea construction vessel Khankendi, during the first half
of the year the vessel was involved in a multi-well subsea
intervention campaign in the ACG Deepwater Gunashli area supporting
early identification of opportunities for pressure management and
production rate enhancement in ACG. During this period, the diving
support vessel Tofig Ismayilov provided life-of-field support,
covering services, surveys, and interventions across all of the
Shah Deniz 2 and ACG subsea producing assets,” the report
reads.
bp said that this is part of the integrated schedule, ensuring
the efficient utilization of vessels and drilling rigs to optimize
activities and accelerate well start-up dates.
Shah Deniz participating interests are: bp (operator – 29.99%),
LUKOIL (19.99%), TPAO (19.00%), SGC (16.02%), NICO (10.00%) and MVM
(5.00%).
