Bakı. Agshin Rafigoglu – APA-Economics. During the first quarter, BP-Azerbaijan delivered around 6.2 million cubic metres (218,800 million standard cubic feet) per day of ACG associated gas to SOCAR (0.6 billion cubic metres or 19.7 billion cubic feet in total).
BP-Azerbaijan told APA-Economics that during the first quarter, BP as operator of the ACG field continued to deliver associated gas from the Deepwater Gunashli platform via the 28” gas subsea pipeline directly to the Sangachal terminal and from there into Azerigas’ national grid system for domestic use.
Gas from the three Azeri platforms - CA, WA and EA – continued to be sent via in-field subsea gas pipelines to the compression and water injection platform on CA from where it was partly re-injected to maintain pressure in the reservoir and partly delivered to the Sangachal terminal via the same 28” subsea pipeline for further hand over to the national grid system. Gas injection activities currently continue from six wells on CA.
Some of the associated gas from West Chirag has been exported to the Sangachal terminal. Work currently continues on the commissioning of the gas conditioning and compression systems for final hand over to operations which will allow full export of West Chirag gas to the terminal.
Most of the associated gas produced from the Chirag platform was sent to the SOCAR compression station at the Oil Rocks via the existing 16” subsea gas pipeline. During the quarter, BP completed much of its planned work on the flash gas compressors and pipelines to reduce flaring. This work will continue through the second quarter.
