bp as operator of the Shah Deniz field development project advises that the planned maintenance program (turnaround - TAR) on the Shah Deniz Alpha platform and Shah Deniz 1 facilities inside the Sangachal Terminal, which started on 14 August and was planned for 14 days, has now been fully completed, BP-Azerbaijan told Report.
All of the program scope has been delivered safely. The production and export systems of the platform and the terminal have been restarted. Production from the Shah Deniz Alpha platform is currently being ramped up to its pre-program level.
The program scope for the Sangacahl Terminal included various projects such as safety critical equipment preventative maintenance and inspection, flare cables replacement, gas analyzer package tie-ins (for measuring methane intensity), monoethylene glycol line overpressure protection works, valves changeouts, nucleonic sources replacement and other maintenance and inspection activities. In parallel, similar activities, including various repair works, gas analyzer package tie-ins, nucleonic sources replacement and three complex valve replacements, were undertaken on the Shah Deniz Alpha platform.
These planned events deliver routine inspection, maintenance, and project delivery activities. They are a necessary part of the long-term reliability, integrity and production performance and are regularly performed in all bp-operated facilities in the region.
