Additionally, the total oil production from the ACG block of fields since the start of its operations has reached more than 3.9 billion barrels.
Furthermore, in January-June 2021, the Shah Deniz field produced around 10 billion m3 of gas and 1.9 million tonnes of condensate.
It should be noted that the existing Shah Deniz facilities’ production capacity is currently about 70 million standard m3 of gas per day.
