SOCAR AQS completed the works on construction of exploration well # 10, with target depth of 735 m, successfully, without any incidents and without harming the environment.
It should be noted that the company has performed many first of its kind activities for the purpose of investigating the potential of the West Absheron Field. As a result of the conducted geological and geophysical surveys several interpretations about the field have been made, including, but not limited to, calculation of the formation pressure, acquisition of core samples in different depths, and determination of the reservoir characteristics, oil and gas saturations, geological cross-section and dips of the formations.
Well-side geologist of the offshore platform №10, Arif Safarov said: “Results of the specifically conducted geological and geophysical surveys in the field will also provide a solid foundation for the commencement of a brand new period in the history of the field. Thus, prediction and prevention of the possible geological problems will be deemed possible which will in turn result in a substantial increase in terms of safety of well drilling and completion, on-point decision-making related to completion methods, and production of the gas-condensate resources!”
Our company attaches a great importance not only to drilling the wells in a short time period during its activities, but also to the provision of safety, protection of the environment and high quality of services during all stages of operation.
The Customer of drilling works is Azneft Production Unit.
