Azerbaijan, Baku, May 8 / Trend /

BP - operator of development of Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli block - delivers gas to Azerbaijan from these fields free of charge.
According to the representative of oil and gas industry of Azerbaijan, this year the country intends to receive at least 3 billion cubic meters of gas.
In 2008, Azerbaijan received 2.1 billion cubic meters of associated gas from ACG.
In 2009, BP continued to supply associated gas via the 28" gas subsea pipeline from three platforms (CA, WA and EA) to the Sangachal terminal and into Azerigas' national grid system for domestic use. Some of the associated gas produced from the Chirag platform was sent to the SOCAR compression station at the Oil Rocks via the existing 16 inch subsea gas pipeline. The rest of the associated gas from the ACG platforms has continued to flow via in-field subsea gas pipelines to the compression and water injection platform (C&WP) for re-injection to maintain pressure in the reservoir. Gas injection activities currently continue from three wells on CA.
