Shah Deniz 2 reaches full production rates from East South flank

BAKU, Azerbaijan, Nov.5

By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:

In the third quarter of 2021, the Shah Deniz 2 project reached full production rates from the East South flank following its safe start-up in the second quarter of the year, Trend reports with reference to bp.

As a result of the production ramp-up from the East South flank, in July 2021, the daily production rates of the Shah Deniz Bravo platform reached the Shah Deniz Alpha rates for the first time.

On the West South flank, the pipelay barge Israfil Huseynov completed the subsea pipeline construction activities in the third quarter. The scope was delivered ahead of schedule with the barge achieving its best ever performance and highest productivity. This has allowed to commence subsea pipelaying activities on the East North flank in 2021, originally planned for the second quarter of 2022.

Overall, all West South subsea installation activities are progressing on schedule for the production start-up planned for the middle of 2022.

In the third quarter, the project also continued preparation activities for the production start-up from the final 5th well on the North Flank planned for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Shah Deniz participating interests are: bp (operator – 28.8 percent), TPAO (19 percent), PETRONAS (15.5 percent), AzSD (10 percent), LUKOIL (10 percent), NICO (10 percent) and SGC Upstream (6.7 percent).
