Baku. Agshin Rafigoglu – APA-Economics. In 2014, ACG delivered an average of 7.55 million cubic metres per day of ACG associated gas to SOCAR (2.76 billion cubic metres in total).

According to BP-Azerbaijan, ACG continued to deliver associated gas from the Deepwater Gunashli (DWG) 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 CA it was partly re-injected to maintain pressure in the reservoir and partly delivered to the Sangachal terminal. Most of the associated gas from West Chirag was exported to the Sangachal terminal.

Most of the associated gas produced from the Chirag platform continued to be sent to the SOCAR compression station at the Oil Rocks. In 2014, the planned work on the flash gas compressors and pipelines which allowed us to significantly reduce flaring on Chirag was completed.

ACG participating interests are: BP (operator – 35.8 per cent), SOCAR (11.6 per cent), Chevron (11.3 per cent), INPEX (11 per cent), Statoil (8.6 per cent), ExxonMobil (8 per cent), TPAO (6.8 per cent), ITOCHU (4.3 per cent), ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL) (2.7 per cent).
