Shah Deniz 2, located in Azerbaijan, represents BP’s largest subsea project worldwide. Valued at USD 28 billion, the development includes 26 subsea wells, 500 km of subsea pipelines and flowlines, and two new bridge-linked platforms. Alongside the Southern Gas Corridor pipeline system, Shah Deniz 2 began gas deliveries in mid-2018 and continues to supply Europe with substantial natural gas volumes.
This presentation provides an overview of the field development and the subsea installation methodology. The focus is on a foundation bottom structure utilizing suction cans, marking the first deployment of this type of structure in the Caspian Sea.
