WASHINGTON, U.S., March 10. Azerbaijan is
starting to develop unconventional oil and gas resources, said
President of Azerbaijan’s state oil company (SOCAR) Rovshan Najaf,
Trend’s special
correspondent reports.
He made the remarks during the U.S.-Azerbaijan Trade and
Business Conference, dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the
U.S.-Azerbaijan Chamber of Commerce (USACC).
He pointed out that this was not a part of the country’s agenda
or priority., because of the fish reserves in the Caspian.
“We were focusing on offshore oil and gas fields. Now, in
parallel with offshore oil and gas, we are also developing onshore
unconventionals.
In that sense, U.S. companies are the natural partners to
develop this project. Because they have access to technology,
knowledge and expertise. That's what we need in order to develop
successfully this project. We already have started this in
cooperation with ExxonMobile,” he said.
