BP Taps Cutting-Edge 4D Seismic Tech to Survey Azerbaijani Oil Field

The survey will cover 740 square kilometers focusing on Balakhany and Fasila oil reservoirs, using specialized vessels for a detailed analysis.
Production from the ACG oil field has significantly declined since its peak in 2010, prompting this initiative to better manage and potentially increase remaining reserves.
The new seismic survey, complemented by BP’s ongoing projects like the Azeri Central East platform, aims to sustain Azerbaijan’s oil production and revenue in the coming years.

Oil Majors Gear Up for Groundbreaking 2024 Drilling Campaigns

Rystad Energy has identified 36 potential high-impact wells for 2024, a significant increase from 27 in 2023.
