 | Azerbaijan to get more gas from Chirag |
AIOC and SOCAR announced Wednesday the completion of a project that will deliver more gas to Azerbaijan consumers and significantly reduce flaring from the Chirag-1 platform.
The project has included a detailed study by AIOC of the existing gas facilities on the Chirag platform and a survey of 48 km of the 400 mm sub-sea export gas pipeline to test their suitability for the export of increased volumes of associated gas from Chirag. As a result of the study, a project to purchase and install three additional centrifugal gas turbine driven compressors has now been completed.
In addition, following an AIOC-conducted study of the existing “Neft Dashlari–Jiloy-Zira” pipeline, SOCAR has replaced some sections in it to fully rehabilitate this gas transportation facility.
The completion of the project has enabled the companies to export 2.7 million cubic meters of gas per day from Chirag to Oil Rocks and then to shore to meet Azerbaijan’s growing demands for gas. Until recently only about 1.6 million cubic meters of gas per day could be exported from Chirag, with the remaining high-pressure associated gas flared at the platform.*
