( MENAFN - Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 17. bp hassuccessfully completed its first pressure coring Acquisition in theAzeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field using innovative pressure coringtechnology for the first time not only in the Caspian but also inbp's global operations, Trend reports via bp. “The use of the pressure coring technology aims to acquire coresamples at in-situ reservoir conditions minimizing fluids loss andcore damage.
The acquired core will be used in various laboratorytests to minimize uncertainties about the residual oil saturationunder water flood conditions in the ACG Balakhany reservoir. Thiswill help to inform the need and type of enhanced oil recoverymethods and improve predictability of and planning for futureBalakhany reservoirs development options,” said the company. Reportedly, the pressure core acquisition was performed in theBaIakhany VIII formation through a newly delivered well on WestAzeri.
“During the operation, four fully pressurized core samples weresuccessfully recovered, with all fluids captured and preserved intheir in-situ condition. These samples, along with the data fromon-site analysis, have been sent to a laboratory for furtheranalysis. It is expected that the important core and fluid data collectedfrom the reservoir rock behind the water flood will deepen oursubsurface understanding and allow to choose the best resourcesdevelopment strategies,” said bp.
The development of ACG has been underway since September 20,1994. The contract will end in December 2049 and concerns therecovery of about 1 billion tons of oil. The shareholdings of ACG shareholders are as follows: bp (30.
37percent), SOCAR (25 percent), MOL Group (9.57 percent), INPEX (9.31percent), Equinor (7.
27 percent), ExxonMobil (6.79 percent), TPAO(5.73 percent), ITOCHU (3.
65 percent), and ONGC Videsh Limited(OVL) (2.31 percent). Follow the author on X: @Lyaman_Zeyn MENAFN17102024000187011040ID1108790731 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.
