BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 7. Possibility of
remote control of the operational processes on the Azeri Central
East (ACE) oil platform in Azerbaijan is a distinctive feature of
the platform, BP's Project Manager for the ACE Neal Phillips told
reporters, reports.
According to Phillips, a separate room was built in the
Sangachal terminal for these purposes.
The Azeri Central East (ACE) project is centered on a new
48-slot production, drilling and quarters platform located mid-way
between the existing Central Azeri and East Azeri platforms in a
water depth of approximately 140 meters.
The project will also include new infield pipelines to transfer
oil and gas from the ACE platform to the existing ACG Phase 2 oil
and gas export pipelines for transportation to the onshore
Sangachal Terminal. In addition, there will be a water injection
pipeline installed between the East Azeri and ACE platforms to
supply injection water from the Central Azeri compression and water
injection platform to the ACE facilities.
'Work is underway to equip the premises with the appropriate
technical infrastructure,' he said.
Phillips stressed that in December 2022 the lower part of the
ACE platform will be loaded onto the STB-1 barge and sent to the
offshore field.
'The platform has already been built. Its lower part will be
sent to the offshore field after carrying out the relevant test
work. The platform is expected to be installed in early 2023. The
construction of the upper part of the platform is still ongoing,'
Phillips explained.
He noted that after the installation of the upper part, assembly
work will be carried out.
'After carrying out all these operations, the platform will be
ready for the production of petrochemicals,' said the project
manager.
