BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 2
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
BP maintained the injection efficiency of produced water at a maximum level of 99.6 percent in Azerbaijan in 2019, slightly higher than in 2018, Trend reports citing BP in Azerbaijan Sustainability Report 2019.
“As oil reservoirs naturally deplete every year, the share of water extracted with the oil increases. Produced water from the Azeri-Chirag-Deepwater Gunashli (ACG) field is separated both offshore and at the Sangachal terminal. The ACG and Shah Deniz fields generated and treated 8 million tonnes of produced water in 2019. The separated produced water was reinjected offshore through dedicated wells to sustain pressure in the oil reservoir,” reads the report.
BP said in 2019, there were three oil spills of over one barrel in volume and all oil spills were contained and fully recovered.
In Azerbaijan, BP operates under several production sharing agreements and host government agreements (HGAs) signed with the government of Azerbaijan. In Georgia and Turkey, BP operates under HGAs that cover export pipelines and terminals.
BP operates large oil and gas assets offshore Azerbaijan. Onshore, it operates one of the world’s largest integrated hydrocarbon receiving and processing terminals and pipeline links to regional and world markets.
