BAKU, Azerbaijan, Jan.13. On a more realistic scale and timeframe, the key upstream emissions reduction project to watch is at Shah Deniz in Azerbaijan, Trend reports with reference to Wood Mackenzie.

“The bp-led consortium will take FID on investment to supply power from the gas field’s Bravo (Phase Two) offshore platform to the older Alpha (Phase One) platform via a subsea cable. This will reduce annual emissions by around 20,000 tonnes of CO2 by decommissioning Alpha platform’s older gas and diesel power units. The project should become operational in 2024,” reads a report from WoodMac.

The scope of work of the $5.7 million contract includes the FEED services for decommissioning the existing main power generators on the SDA platform and creation of a power supply system from the SDB platform via a subsea cable. This project will be delivered from SOCAR-KBR's Baku office to maximize local content.

The project is designed to significantly reduce SDA’s operational emissions and increase the platform’s operational efficiency, providing a robust, long-term, high-availability power supply.

Shah Deniz participating interests are: bp (operator – 29.99%), LUKOIL (19.99%), TPAO (19.00%), SOCAR (14.35%), NICO (10.00%) and SGC (6.67%). The field currently produces around 70 million cubic metres of gas and 105 thousand barrels of condensate per day.
