At the end of the quarter, 137 oil wells were producing, while 33 were used for water and eight for gas injection. During the three quarters, ACG delivered an average of around 8 million cubic metres per day of ACG associated gas to the state of Azerbaijan (2.2 billion cubic metres in total), primarily at the Sangachal terminal but also to SOCAR’s Oil Rocks facility. The remainder of the associated gas produced was re-injected for reservoir pressure maintenance,” the company added.
