Baku. Ali Ahmedov â€“ APA-Economics. During the first half of 2012, around 11.5 million cubic metres (about 405 million standard cubic feet) per day of ACG associated gas were delivered to SOCAR, said BP-Azerbaijan Company.

During the first half, BP as operator of the ACG field continued to supply associated gas via the 28â€ gas subsea pipeline from three platforms (CA, WA and EA) to the Sangachal terminal and from there into Azerigasâ€™ national grid system for domestic use. Some of the associated gas produced from the Chirag platform was sent to the SOCAR compression station at the Oil Rocks via the existing 16â€ subsea gas pipeline. The rest of the associated gas from the ACG platforms was sent via in-field subsea gas pipelines to the compression and water injection platform (C&WP) on CA for re-injection to maintain pressure in the reservoir. Gas injection activities currently continue from four wells on CA.

For the full year itâ€™s expected to deliver about 3 billion cubic metres (about 106 billion standard cubic feet) of associated gas to SOCAR.
