SOCAR AQS completes first well from Platform No. 50 at West Absheron field

SOCAR AQS handed over the first well drilled from Platform No. 50 at the West Absheron field offshore Azerbaijan to its client, Azneft PU. Well No. 83 reached an actual depth of 1,200 m against a planned depth of 1,192 m.

Geological and geophysical studies were run during drilling, including formation pressure measurements in the QD-3 and QAD productive horizons. The data will help plan future drilling. The production casing diameter was increased to 9⅝ in.

A Single Annulus Sand Screen (SASS) was installed in the open-hole section to limit sand and mechanical particle intrusion and support long-term production.
