During the first half of 2025, Azeri-Chirag-Deepwater Gunashli (ACG) field block located in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Seacontinued to safely and reliably deliver stable production, Report informs, citing the BP-Azerbaijan.

Total ACG production for the first half of 2025 was on average about 327,000 barrels per day (b/d) (about 59 million barrels or 8 million tonnes in total) from the Chirag (21,000 b/d), Central Azeri (86,000 b/d), West Azeri (75,000 b/d), East Azeri (42,000 b/d), Deepwater Gunashli (54,000 b/d), West Chirag (24,000 b/d) and ACE (25,000 b/d) platforms.

On February 18, ACG celebrated the 20th anniversary of the first oil production from the Central Azeri platform. To date, the platform has produced a total of 1.1 billion barrels (154 million tonnes) of oil.

In the second quarter, ACG successfully reintroduced water injection on the Chirag platform following an almost four-year pause. To achieve this, several critical upgrades were made on the platform including the redesign and modification of water injection pumps, the rebuild of the control system, as well as the drilling of a new injection well. The well was drilled using power from the topside and drilling generators, marking a first for the Chirag platform and eliminating the need for a separate diesel generator.

In addition, in the second quarter, ACG achieved the start-up of the first gas injection well on the ACE platform safely and on schedule.

At the end of June 2025, 143 oil wells were producing, while 46 were used for water and 10 for gas injection.
