from the Alpha platform at Azerbaijan's giant Shah Deniz gas and
condensate field are back to normal, bp Azerbaijan told Trend .
“As to the upstream part of Shah Deniz, we are now back to
normal production and export operations from the Alpha platform,”

On January 7, a technical fault was discovered in the underwater
export pipeline between the Shah Deniz Alpha (SDA) platform and the
Sangachal terminal. Due to operational reasons, production and
export activities from the SDA platform were temporarily suspended,
