the Shah Deniz Alpha (SDA) platform and export operations from the
Shah Deniz field have returned to their previous levels, Head of bp
Azerbaijan-Georgia-Türkiye Communications Department Tamam Bayatli
told reporters, Trend reports.
"All gas production and export operations at the Shah Deniz
Alpha platform are being carried out as usual. The volumes have
returned to the levels recorded before the technical failure of the
subsea condensate pipeline, which transports condensate to the
Sangachal terminal," she emphasized.
On January 7, a technical fault was discovered in the underwater
export pipeline between the SDA platform and the Sangachal
terminal. Due to operational reasons, production and export
activities from the SDA platform were temporarily suspended, and
the platform itself was safely shut down.
As of the evening of January 18, the technical issue with the
underwater pipeline was fully resolved.
Located in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea, Shah Deniz
is one of the largest gas and condensate fields in the world. Gas
and condensate from Shah Deniz have been extracted since December
2006 and exported since 2007 to Georgia and Türkiye. Since December
2020, exports have also reached Europe.
The reserves of Shah Deniz are estimated at 1.2 trillion cubic
meters of gas.
