During January-June oil and gas extraction units of PA Azneft of SOCAR produced 1,913,305,000 cu m of gas, or 1.3% more than last year, Trend reports.

The biggest production is for OEB May 28 that operates Guneshli field. 1,224,346,000 cu m of gas have been produced at this field during the reported period, or 4.8% more than last year.

The lowest production was reported at Muradkhanli field. It gave only 300,000t cu m of gas in January-June, which corresponds to last year figure.

Production by Amirov OGPU lagged from last year figure 49.6% and made up 4,731 tons. At present major efforts in the oil production are directed at maintenance of extraction of existing volumes of gas resources. In particular, it will be more probably done at the expense of collection of low-pressure gas leaked to atmosphere, as well as new well drilling.
