January 9, Fineko/abc.az. BP Azerbaijan will begin subsea operations next week at a number of wells in the Deepwater Gunashli area (part of the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli (CDWG) block) in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea.

ABC.AZ informs that BP's vice president of wells for the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Türkiye (AGT) region, wrote about this on LinkedIn.

"The BP AGT Wells team is now ready to deploy the first LWIV (Light Well Intervention Vessel) in the Caspian Sea. The subsea construction vessel ‘Khankendi' has now been fully converted and will sail to the CDWG field in the next week for a series of subsea interventions. This activity will be the first-ever global use of the Oceaneering BORIS (Blue Ocean Riserless Intervention System) supported by Saipem as vessel operator and SLB for intervention equipment. This project has been a huge effort by the combined team to mobilize all the equipment and install it successfully on the KK vessel," he wrote.
