Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug. 19 / Trend , E.Ismayilov/

On Aug. 25, the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) plans to end two-dimensional (2D) geophysical research in onshore Zardab, Shikhbagi and eastern Shikhbagi units, a source in SOCAR said on Aug. 19. 2D research at these units began in April 2009.

"Field work on the units continues and they should finish on Aug. 25," the source said. Research on these units is held via methods of common depth point, breaking waves and gravity.

The main objective of the work is to clarify geological structure and predict oil and gas sites of the unit.

Earlier the source said field work in these areas began in April and were maintained by methods of common depth point, breaking waves and gravity.

After completion of the interpretation, the work done will be presented to Azneft PU, which is a customer. The PU is a member of SOCAR.

There are 57 oil and gas fields, including 18 offshore and the remained onshore. SOCAR staff today is more than 62 thousand people.
