... Abstract The aim of this paper is to present the methodology implemented to assess the geohazards potentially affecting a subsea development offshore Azerbaijan and the main findings. The site investigated is located on the continental slope of the Caspian Sea in water depths ranging from 50m...

... Abstract The changing oil and gas environment is driving companies to re-evaluate the way they execute projects. This paper covers the approach taken in the delivery of the Azeri, Chirag, Gunashli (ACG) development, in Azerbaijan. These Caspian Sea fields, located 130km east of Baku offered...

... Abstract The third phase of the Azeri, Chirag, Gunashli (ACG) Project for Azerbaijan in the Caspian Sea develops the Deep Water Gunashli (DWG) area of the ACG reservoir, approximately 130km East of Baku. The DWG reservoir is highly pressure depleted due to extensive production from existing...

... Abstract The geographical position of the landlocked Caspian Sea presented a huge challenge for the marine installation of the ACG (Azeri, Chirag, Gunashli) development offshore Azerbaijan. Access to the Caspian is limited to two canals in the north which are frozen for up to six months...

... Abstract The Shah Deniz high-pressure gas platform development in the Azerbaijan sector of the landlocked Caspian Sea required a unique execution plan, the key components being: Selection of a production jack-up for a continuous operational life of up to 30 years Fabrication of major...

... in southeastern offshore Azerbaijan is defines the areal distribution of mud volcanoes and allows for their classification based on characteristic seismic features. As a result, a detailed database for each mud volcano is constructed. A high concentration of mud volcanoes is observed at the southern part...

... Abstract Seismic reflection data from the South Caspian Sea, offshore Azerbaijan, prove evidence for buried gas hydrates wellbeneath the seafloor (~300 m), with implications for drilling hazards and seafloor instability. Some of the seismic characteristics of these gas hydrates are (1...
