英国石油公司签署了一系列协议，将建立和扩大其在阿塞拜疆的石油和天然气利益，包括沙赫德尼兹气田的下一阶段开发，该气田由英国石油公司经营，拥有 29% 的参与权益。

耗资29亿美元的Shah Deniz压缩项目是该气田的第三阶段开发项目，将开采并生产气田中的低压天然气资源，从而提高资源回收率并延长生产寿命。该项目将安装一个新的无人压缩平台，预计将额外生产500亿立方米天然气和2500万桶凝析油。该项目预计将于2029年产出第一批天然气。

BP还与SOCAR达成协议，获得里海两个区块的勘探和开发权，这两个区块分别是已发现的卡拉巴赫油田和阿什拉菲-丹乌尔杜祖-艾帕拉（ADUA）油田。BP将拥有每个区块35%的开采权益并成为其运营商，SOCAR则保留65%的权益。

此外，英国石油公司和阿塞拜疆国家石油公司还达成协议，土耳其石油公司（TPAO）将持有里海Shafag-Asiman区块30%的产量分成权益。2021年钻探的第一口井发现了凝析气资源。

BP entered into a series of agreements that will build and expand on its oil and gas interests in Azerbaijan, including the next phase of development of the Shah Deniz gas field, which is operated by BP with a 29% participating interest.

The $2.9 billion Shah Deniz Compression project, the field’s third phase of development, will access and produce low pressure gas resources from the gas field, increasing resource recovery and extending production life. The project, which will include installation of a new unmanned compression platform, is expected to allow production of an additional gross 50 billion cu m of gas and 25 million barrels of condensate. The project is expected to receive first gas in 2029.

BP also completed an agreement with SOCAR to access two blocks in the Caspian Sea for exploration and development, for the discovered Karabagh oil field and the Ashrafi-Dan Ulduzu-Aypara (ADUA) area. BP will have 35% working interest and become operator of each block, with SOCAR retaining 65%.

Separately, BP and SOCAR also reached agreement for Turkey’s TPAO to take a 30% interest in the production sharing agreement for the Shafag-Asiman block in the Caspian Sea. The first well drilled in 2021 encountered gas condensate resources.
