Baku, August 6, AZERTAC
Processing of the data acquired during the survey conducted on the Garabagh field is currently ongoing, bp Azerbaijan told AZERTAC.
On the Garabagh field, an Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) seismic survey was conducted early this year to enhance the reservoir understanding, support well planning, and optimize field development strategies. The survey commenced in December 2025 and was completed ahead of schedule in mid-March 2026. Processing of the data acquired during the survey is currently ongoing.
Following this, work started in March for a High-Resolution (HR) / Ultra-High Resolution (UHR) seismic survey to help identify geological hazards that could affect well integrity, as well as subsurface hazards that could impact the safe installation of a platform and other infrastructure. This survey was completed in May, and processing of the dataset acquired during the survey is also currently ongoing.
On the ADUA block, as a first step, a 2D HR seismic survey was conducted in April in water depths ranging from 20 to 40 metres, covering a small area located in the north-western part of the ADUA block. The primary objective of the survey was to acquire detailed subsurface data to a depth of approximately 1,500 metres to support the planning of future exploration wells. The survey will help identify shallow geological hazards, including faults, shallow gas accumulations, and other subsurface features that could pose risks to drilling operations and well integrity.
The EIA document for the ADUA seismic survey was disclosed for public consultations in December 2025, with the final document approved by the government in March this year.
