The Azeri field includes Central Azeri, West Azeri, East Azeri production platforms compression and water injection platform (C&WP). The field was discovered in 1988 and originally it was named after 26 Baku Commissars.
Central Azeri is a production, drilling and quarters (PDQ) platform located in nearly 128 m (420 ft) depth of water in the central part of the Azeri field. The platform is constructed to produce approximately 420,000 bbl/d (67,000 m3/d). The facilities on Central Azeri include:
Central Azeri has started its operations in February 2005
West Azeri is a production, drilling and quarters (PDQ) platform located in 120 m (390 ft) depth of water and was constructed to produce oil from western section of Azeri field. West Azeri adds 300,000 bbl/d (48,000 m3/d) to the overall ACG production. The facilities on West Azeri include:
The platform has started its operations in December 2005.
East Azeri is a production, drilling and quarters (PDQ) platform located in 150 m (490 ft) depth of water and was constructed to produce oil from eastern section of Azeri field. East Azeri produces 260,000 bbl/d (41,000 m3/d). The facilities on East Azeri include:
The platform has started its operations in October 2006.
The C&WP supplies Central, West and East Azeri platforms with water and gas injection services, manages gas export and provides electrical power using 10 Rolls Royce turbines. The platform is bridge linked to Central Azeri platform.
Gas injection capacity at C&WP is 1 billion cubic feet per day (28 million cubic metres per day) utilizing 5 gas injection wells. Water injection capacity is 1 million barrels per day (160 thousand cubic metres per day) utilizing 12 water injection wells. Gas export capacity stands at 250 million cubic feet per day (7.1 million cubic metres per day). Azeri C&WP has some of the largest water injection pumps and gas injection compressors among BP platforms worldwide. The topsides have been constructed in the ATA (AMEC-Azfen-Tekfen) construction yard in Bibi-Heybat, Azerbaijan.
