据阿塞拜疆新闻网8月28日报道，阿塞拜疆卡拉巴赫油气田的钻探工作将于2019年第四季度启动。

SOCAR的里海钻井国际公司告诉Trend，该公司计划在9月份完成Dede Gorgud半潜式钻井平台的重新启用，之后按照挪威Equinor公司的要求将其送至卡拉巴赫油田进行钻探。

卡拉巴赫油田的钻探工作将持续大约3个月或更长时间，具体视工作进展而定。

该公司还表示，卡拉巴赫油田的工作结束后，钻井平台将被转移到邻近的Aypara地区，用于第一口探井的钻探。

Aypara构造位于Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli (ACG)油田西北25公里处，距巴库90公里。

根据Equinor公司的项目，Aypara的油井将是标准井，垂直钻井深度为3400米，水深为140米。这可能需要花费两三个月的时间。

Equinor与阿塞拜疆里海钻井公司签订的合同设想里海钻井公司在卡拉巴赫油田为Equinor钻探两口井， SOCAR参股，Equinor作为油田开发的项目运营商。Equinor和SOCAR各自持有该项目50%的股份。

自1992年以来，挪威跨国能源公司Equinor一直在阿塞拜疆的能源部门运营。Equinor与国有石油公司SOCAR等国际公司合作，致力于帮助阿塞拜疆蓬勃发展的石油和天然气行业充分发挥其潜力。

如今，Equinor对阿塞拜疆-基拉格-古纳什利油田以及巴库-第比利斯-杰伊汉管道有兴趣，这条管道从巴库通往土耳其南部地中海港口杰伊汉。

Drilling at Karabakh oilfield to launch soon

Drilling work at Azerbaijan’s Karabakh oil and gas field will be launched in the last quarter of 2019.

SOCAR's Caspian Drilling International company told Trend that it is planned to complete the reactivation of the Dede Gorgud semi-submersible drilling rig in September, then it will be sent for drilling at the Karabakh field by order of the Norwegian Equinor company.

Drilling at the Karabakh field will last approximately three months or more depending on the progress of the work.

The company also said that after the work at the Karabakh field, the drilling rig will be moved to the neighboring Aypara area to drill the first exploratory well.

The Aypara structure is located 25 kilometers north-west from the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli (ACG) field and 90 kilometers away from Baku.

In accordance with Equinor’s project, the well at Aypara will be standard, it will be drilled vertically to the depth of 3,400 meters with the water depth of 140 meters. This may take two or three months.

The contract concluded between Equinor and Azerbaijan’s Caspian Drilling Company (CDC) envisages drilling two wells by CDC at the Karabakh field for Equinor, where Equinor serves as project operator for the field development with participation of SOCAR. Equinor and SOCAR hold 50 percent stake each in the project.

Since 1992, Norwegian multinational energy company Equinor has been operating in Azerbaijan’s energy sector. Jointly with the state oil company SOCAR and other international companies, Equinor has worked to help Azerbaijan’s thriving oil and gas industry realize its full potential.

Today Equinor has interest in the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) oil field, as well as the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, which runs from Baku to the south Turkish port of Ceyhan on the Mediterranean Sea.
