The "Shah Deniz Compression" project will contribute to the long-term gas production at the "Shah Deniz" gas-condensate field, BP’s Vice President for the Caspian region, Bakhtiyar Aslanbeyli, told APA-Economics.
According to him, the "Shah Deniz Compression" project will extend the period during which production at the field remains at its peak.
"That is, production at 'Shah Deniz' will stay at a peak level for a longer time," Bakhtiyar Aslanbeyli noted.
Note that the final investment decision for the project is expected to be made soon.
Recall that according to the project schedule for the “Shah Deniz Compression” (SDC) project, the first low-pressure gas production from the “Shah Deniz Alpha” (SDA) platform is planned for mid-2029, and from the “Shah Deniz Bravo” (SDB) platform for mid-2030.
The “Shah Deniz Compression” project includes an electrically powered Mainly Unmanned Facility (eMUF), i.e., the unmanned Shah Deniz Compression (SDC) platform, subsea gas pipelines within the field for export/import of gas from the existing SDA and SDB platforms, electric power supply for the facility, and a common electric and fiber-optic cable (EFOC) to provide backup power to the EFOC linking the SDB and SDC platforms.
The SDC platform will serve as the main unit for gas compression at the SDA and SDB platforms. It will be located about 3 km from the SDB platform at a depth of 85 meters underwater. Before export to the Sangachal Terminal, gas arriving from SDA and SDB will be compressed at the SDC platform using the existing SDA and SDB gas export pipelines.
The work to be carried out will be realized within the existing infrastructure of the SDA, SDB platforms, and the Sangachal Terminal. No new infrastructure will be required at the Sangachal Terminal (except for the installation of equipment to receive and transmit electric power), and the terminal area will not be expanded.
