Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan.22 / Trend , E.Ismayilov /

SOCAR has put in operation a high-debit gas condensate well in the shallow part of the offshore Guneshli field, SOCAR said.

The company has been developing the deep-water part of the Guneshli field together with a consortium of foreign companies.

The new well was drilled from Guneshli-10 platform. The depth of the well is 3600 meters and daily debit amounts to 210,000 cubic meters of gas and 90 tons of condensate.  

The Guenshli-10 platform was put into operation in 1986 and consists of 24 wells. Due to expansion operations, two more wells have been drilled.

At the moment, 1.33 million cubic meters of gas and 1,330 tons of oil (together with condensate) are produced on the platform daily.

Guneshli is important for Azerbaijan's oil and gas sector. Besides drilling of new wells, inoperable ones are being repaired.

A well which was recently repaired produces 15,000 cubic meters of gas and 40 tons of oil daily.

Well 179 has been working since 1987, and 978,600 tons of oil and 162 million cubic meters of gas have been extracted from it so far.
