BAKU, Azerbaijan, Feb.8
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
The analysis of gas production in Azerbaijan’s giant Shah Deniz gas and condensate field since 2010 shows that it has increased the output by 11.2 billion standard cubic meters from 2010 to 2020, Trend reports with reference to BP data.
During the period from 2010 to 2020, Shah Deniz saw a decrease in year-on-year gas output only in 2011 and 2017.
During 2010, the field produced about 6.9 billion cubic meters (more than 243.4 billion cubic feet) of gas and 1.9 million tonnes (14.7 million barrels) of condensate.
In 2011, this figure dripped to 6.67 billion cubic meters (more than 235 billion cubic feet) of gas and 1.8 million tonnes (14 million barrels) of condensate.
No BP data is available for 2012 full year results.
In 2013, the field ramped up the production to 9.8 billion cubic metres (about 345.5 billion cubic feet) of gas and 2.48 million tonnes (19.6 million barrels) of condensate.
In 2014, the field produced 9.9 billion standard cubic metres of gas and 2.3 million tonnes (18.7 million barrels) of condensate.
In 2015, the field’s production remained unchanged year-on-year, stabilizing at about 9.9 billion standard cubic metres (bcm) of gas and 2.3 million tonnes (about 18.3 million barrels) of condensate.
In 2016, the field rose its production to 10.7 billion standard cubic metres (bcm) of gas and 2.5 million tonnes (about 20 million barrels) of condensate.
During 2017, the field again reduced its output to about 10.2 billion standard cubic metres (bcm) of gas and 2.4 million tonnes (about 19 million barrels) of condensate.
In 2018, the field’s output rose to 11.5 billion standard cubic metres (bcm) of gas and more than 2.5 million tonnes (20.5 million barrels) of condensate.
In 2019, the field produced around 16.8 billion standard cubic metres (bcm) of gas and 3.5 million tonnes (28.6 million barrels) of condensate in total from the Shah Deniz Alpha and Shah Deniz Bravo platforms.
In 2020, the Shah Deniz field produced around 18.1 billion standard cubic metres (bcm) of gas and 3.6 million tonnes (29 million barrels) of condensate in total from the Shah Deniz Alpha and Shah Deniz Bravo platforms.
