24 October 2011 [17:48] - Today.Az
Operating Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli (ACG) in the Caspian Sea, BP has closed its East Azeri oil drilling platform for maintenance programme. The East Azeri platform is closed according to plan for 10-15 days. Production at three platforms - Eastern Azeri, Western Azeri and Central Azeri will also be suspended in a planned sequence to ensure effective maintenance.
Production from the other BP-operated production platforms - Chirag, Deepwater Gunashli (both part of the ACG development) and Shah Deniz, as well as export operations via South Caucasian Gas Pipeline (Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum) and Baku-Supsa oil pipeline will continue as normal.
The BTC pipeline and the Sangachal Terminal will continue to operate coordinating their day-to-day operations with continuing ACG and Shah Deniz production operations. Liftings at Ceyhan will also continue however with a schedule that reflects the reduction in volume arising from the planned Azeri maintenance shutdowns.
