BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 26
By Leman Zeynalova - Trend:
Work continues on the study of the Kalin suite and its underlying sediments at Bahar-Gum Deniz field in Azerbaijan in order to clarify the location of the planned wells, which are planned to be drilled from the island part of the field, Trend reports with reference to the US Greenfields Petroleum Company, which operates the Bahar-Gum Deniz project through its subsidiary BEOC.
Interpretation of the KaS base and underlying horizons is underway in order to study the conditions of sedimentation, as well as the interpretation of tectonic disturbances to prospecting for new hydrocarbon traps. GumDeniz KaS fault and horizon interpretation continues. This is to identify drilling location for Qala formation in this area.
The Bahar Gas Field consists of 45 offshore platforms including a central processing and metering platform to gather the gas for onward transport through a three 12-inch pipelines to the shore-based gas and liquid handling facilities. The platforms, in most cases are built on 24 to 30 pilings each in an average water depth of about 16 metres.
The Gum Deniz Oil Field is located south of the Absheron peninsula, 21 km south of Baku, between Gum Island and the Bahar Gas Field. The Gum Deniz Oil Field extends from onshore Gum Island, which is 2.5 km from the mainland to the south in the Caspian Sea. The Gum Deniz Oil Field is found along the Fatmai–Gum Adasi anticlinal trend which includes the Bahar and Shakh Deniz structures. Oil in the Gum Deniz Oil Field is trapped in a north-south trending structure that is approximately 16 kilometres in length and 3 kilometres in width. The Gum Deniz Oil Field is structurally up-dip from the Bahar Gas Field.
