Project Description
Shah Deniz is the first subsea development in the Caspian Sea and is one of the biggest and most complex new energy projects worldwide, comprising major offshore, onshore and pipeline developments.
At plateau, Shah Deniz 2 is expected to incrementally produce 16-billion cubic meters of gas a year.
Together with output from the first phase of development, total production from the Shah Deniz field will be up to 26-billion cubic meters of gas a year and up to 120 000 bbl/d of condensate.
Offshore, Shah Deniz 2 includes 26 subsea wells, 500 km of subsea pipelines and flowlines, as well as two new bridge-linked platforms.
Gas is transported onshore through a 85 km pipeline to the Sangachal terminal near Baku, which has undergone a major expansion to accommodate the new increased gas output.
The project also includes the new South Caucasus pipeline expansion – 428 km of new pipeline in Azerbaijan and 59 km in Georgia, including two new compressor stations – carrying Shah Deniz gas to Turkey.
