One blocks of this platform was built long ago by Neftegazstroy trust at SOCAR. Repairs are expected to be implemented in this block.

SOCAR's diving department has completed a study into the seabed where a new platform is expected to be installed. The data obtained will soon be submitted to the Neftegazproekt Institute owned by SOCAR.
