The Sate Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) plans to drill a new exploration well on the "Bulla Deniz-82" platform whose estimated daily production is 82,500 cubic meters of gas and 80 tons of gas condensate, a source in SOCAR said.

It is planned to drill a new well within a month. It is expected to produce 500,000 cubic meters of gas and 80 tons of gas condensate from this well, the source added.

"Currently, the company is installing the equipment to drill new wells on the "Bulla Deniz - 82" platform. The company plans to begin drilling within a month," the source added.

Как сказал источник, проектная глубина новой скважины составляет 6400 метров. Бурение новой скважины будет производить недавно созданное управление буровых работ "Сахиль" при тресте "Комплексные буровые работы" компании SOCAR.

The design depth of the new well is 6,400 meters. The drilling will be carried out by the Sahil deep-drilling unit which has been recently established under the SOCAR Drilling Work Trust.

The daily debit of this field is 450,000 cubic meters of gas. According to SOCAR's geologists, the gas production in this field may increase several times, SOCAR said earlier.

Azerbaijan has 57 oil and gas fields, 18 of them are offshore and the rest are onshore. SOCAR has 62,000 employees.
