BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 3. bp is working to
unlock new sources of gas beyond Shah Deniz, said Stuart Shaw, bp
vice president, production, AGT region, at the 12th Southern Gas
Corridor Advisory Council Ministerial Meeting in Baku, Trend
reports.
“A key part of this is the development of Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli
(ACG) non-associated gas reservoirs. These reservoirs hold
significant potential — up to 4 trillion cubic feet of recoverable
gas. We have already drilled the first NAG production well from the
West Chirag platform and expect first gas in the coming months.
This well will also provide important appraisal data to guide next
steps in the ACG NAG development,” he said.
Shaw recalled that last year, bp also joined the Karabagh and
ADUA projects.
“Aiming to explore and develop new oil and gas fields and
prospects in the Caspian. Together with SOCAR, we are assessing
development options that make the best use of existing
infrastructure. And as operator, we are applying our global
expertise and technology to progress these projects safely and
efficiently. As a first step, we are carrying out seismic survey
programmes across both projects to better understand the
reservoirs.
These insights will be essential for designing future
development concepts. We are also continuing appraisal work on the
Shafag-Asiman block - now with a new partner, TPAO.
This collaboration brings added technical and financial
strength. Helping us accelerate work on this promising structure,”
he added.
