The final investment decision on the further development of Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) block of oil and gas fields in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea will have a minimal impact on the consolidated financial results of Japanese INPEX company, one of ACG shareholders, Trend reports citing INPEX.

“Going forward, INPEX will continue to enhance project value including maintaining its production and increasing proved reserves from the ACG oil fields. The project is aligned to INPEX’s pursuit of the sustainable growth of oil and natural gas E&P activities, one of the medium- to long-term growth targets outlined in the company’s VISION 2040,” said the company.

INPEX said it will continue to be proactively engaged in the exploration, development and production of hydrocarbon resources in the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The $6 billion development includes a new offshore platform and facilities designed to process up to 100,000 barrels of oil per day. The project is expected to achieve first production in 2023 and produce up to 300 million barrels over its lifetime.
