Central Azeri planned turnaround programme successfully completed

The planned maintenance programme (turnaround - TAR) on the Central Azeri platform, which started on August 19 and was planned for 11 days, has now been fully completed ahead of schedule.

According to Report, citing BP Azerbaijan, the operator of the Azeri-Chirag-Deepwater Gunashli (ACG) field development project, all of the programme scope has been delivered safely. Production is currently being ramped up to its pre-programme level.

The programme scope included various projects including critical integrity and maintenance works, flare system upgrades, reliability improvement initiatives, and anomaly elimination activities.

The maintenance programme also involved activities supporting the delivery of the Central Azeri Gas Expansion (CAGE) project, designed to increase gas reinjection capacity on the platform to help maximize recovery from the existing wells.

These planned events are a necessary part of the long-term reliability, integrity and production performance and are regularly performed in all BP-operated facilities in the region.
