SOCAR launches new oil well

Azerbaijan’s energy giant SOCAR will produce nearly 11,000 tons of oil and over 5.8 million cubic meters (mcm) of gas annually by putting into operation a new well on Oil Rocks offshore field, SOCAR said.

Oil is extracted from the well bore within the range of 2557-2565 meters, the company said.

SOCAR is currently implementing a program to stabilize and increase oil production.
