BAKU, Azerbaijan, Dec.7
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
UK EXPRO international oilfield service company has completed the maintenance of the equipment for the restart of Shah Deniz operations in Q4 2020, the company told Trend.
„The maintenance has been completed and we are now preparing for the next completion,” said the company.
EXPRO has had a presence in the Caspian region since 2007, when it was awarded a contract to supply completion landing strings for Azerbaijan's Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli block of fields.
In 2014, EXPRO was awarded the contract to build landing strings for Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz Stage 2. These are designed to ensure the highest standards of safety and reliability for the most challenging deepwater market conditions.
In November 2018, EXPRO won a four-year contract extension for BP’s Shah Deniz Stage 2 project.
The Shah Deniz Stage 2 project is set to bring gas directly from Azerbaijan to Europe for the first time, opening up the Southern Gas Corridor.
In total 16 billion cubic meters a year of Shah Deniz Stage 2 gas will be delivered through more than 3500 kilometers of pipelines through Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria, Albania and under the Adriatic Sea to Italy.
