BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 27. The Shah Deniz
field in Azerbaijan continues to be a key supplier of Caspian gas
to regional and European markets, and in the coming years, the
field will enter the mature development phase, focusing on
maximizing gas recovery, Aydan Ibrahimova, bp’s area development
manager for the Shah Deniz project, said at the SPE Caspian
Technical Conference 2025 in Baku, Trend reports.
“Advanced drilling and subsea extraction technologies are used
here, including complex subsea production systems with pipelines up
to 500 meters long and 26 wells to ensure high production
efficiency,” she explained.
According to her, modern reservoir modeling techniques have been
rolled out in Azerbaijan, taking into account uncertainties in
underground parameters and allowing for highly accurate production
forecasting.
“The first phase of development provided gas to regional markets
and helped refine data on reserves and reservoir connectivity. The
second phase was a turning point with the creation of the Southern
Gas Corridor—an infrastructure of three pipelines totaling 3,500
km, delivering gas to Europe with high reliability,” Ibrahimova
announced.
She pointed out that today, Shah Deniz is cranking out around 27
billion cubic meters of gas each year, with some wells already
pumping out production volumes of one trillion cubic feet.
