BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 21. Work on the
reconstruction of the Umid-1 platform at the Umid-Babek block in
Azerbaijan is being completed, Trend reports via the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan

'Accelerating production from 'Umid-1' stationary offshore
platform” is to remove restrictions on transportation from the

'Given the restrictions, three million cubic meters of gas and
470 tons (3,600 barrels) of condensate are produced daily at the
field and are transported by SOCAR's technological system to the
Dashgil terminal,” the company said.“Following the above project's
implementation, it's planned to increase daily gas production to
8.1 million cubic meters, and condensate - up to 1,200 tons (9,000
barrels).”
According to SOCAR, within the project, the reconstruction of
the platform itself, the construction of a 54-kilometer 20-inch
(500 mm) underwater pipeline and its onshore section with a length
of nearly 3.7 kilometers, a gas pipeline from the Dashgil-2
terminal and construction at the Sangachal head installation of a
point for connection to the SOCAR gas transmission system are
carried out.
'Currently, the work carried out on the Umid-1 platform and on
land is nearing completion. The building of the underwater pipeline
using the Israfil Huseynov pipe-laying vessel began in April of
this year. The construction of the most complicated section of this
gas pipeline with a length of 2.1 kilometers, located closer to
land,' added the company.
