At present, a seismic survey is conducted by the common depth point method for the first time at the Alat-Deniz field to clarify the geological structure based on sediments in the productive layer and in the lower layer, the State Oil Company SOCAR told Trend.
In addition, the company noted, the work by the pulsed neutron-neutron logging method has been carried out in 36 wells, and the additional oil-bearing intervals have been determined in order to monitor by geophysical methods the development of the Gum-Deniz, Darwin Bank, Guneshli, “Neft Dashlari” ("Oil Rocks"), "Pirallahi", "Palchyg Pilpilesi", "Bibiheybat", "Buzovna-Mashtaga", "Gala", "Lokbatan", "Ateshgah" and "Saadan" fields.
