from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shah Denis ( Azerbaijani Şahdəniz ) is the largest gas field in Azerbaijan. It is located about 60 km south of Baku in the Caspian Sea in water depths of 50–600 m and extends over 860 km 2 .

Shah Denis is being exploited by a consortium of companies led by BP (28.8%). Other shareholders are TPAO (Turkish Petroleum Overseas Company Ltd.) (19%), SOCAR (16.7%), Petronas (15.5%), Lukoil (10%) and the Iranian NIOC (10%).

production

The raw gas is transported to the Səngəçal gas terminal ( ) via underwater pipelines . There the gas is processed and separated from the condensate. The processed natural gas is compressed here and fed into the Turkish gas distribution network via the South Caucasus pipeline through Azerbaijan and Georgia . The condensate is transported to Turkey via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline . Both pipelines largely follow the same route. World icon

The annual production capacity is 10.8 billion m 3 per year, of which around 9 billion m 3 are extracted. The Shah Denis II project should be completed by 2018 and increase capacity by a further 16 billion m 3 .
