BP Azerbaijan will put into operation the second pre-drilling well on Shah Deniz offshore gas field in mid February 2007. Work over connection, as well as commissioning of production, is underway, Trendreports.

The Company intends to resolve the problem in the first well on Shah Deniz through pumping of a special mixture, which will block the gas leakage. Gas leakage has been found in the first well on Shah Deniz Gas field in the depth of 800-900m, where production was ceased last December due to technical reasons.

Gas production on the first well was launched on December 15. The daily production rate of the well is 5.6 mln cu m. Gas condensate is produced from the field at the volume of 2,500 tons per day.

A total of 8.6bln cu m of gas is expected to be produced on the plateau stage under Stage 1 of Shah Daniz Field Development. 5.4-5.6bln cu m of gas will be produced from the field in 2007.
