Background

The Dashgil-Sangachal Oil Pipeline pipeline is used to transport gas condensate from the Umid Oil and Gas Offshore Field located in the Caspian Sea, 75 kilometers south of Baku. The Umid Field is the first gas condensate field in the Caspian Region that was discovered and explored during the country’s independence period with internal sources of SOCAR. Initial production at the field began in 2012. The project is being operated by UMID-BABEK Operating Company (UBOC).[2]

According to the project website, 3 mln m³ of gas and 470 tons of gas condensate are produced daily from the Umid Field and then transported via the existing Dashgil Terminal to the Sangachal Head Facilities using SOCAR’s infrastructure network. As a result of the "UMID-1 Platform’s Production Acceleration” project, it is planned to increase the daily gas production rate from 3 mln m³ to 8.1 mln m³, and condensate production rate – from 470 tons to 1,200 tons. The main goal of the project is to eliminate the limitations of the transportation system (from UMID-1 platform) and to increase production by drilling new wells.[2]

The new Dashgil-2 Terminal will be built next to the existing Dashgil-1 Terminal and will include one production train (12 mln m³/day of gas and 1,860 tons/day of condensate). The terminal will receive production from the Umid Field through a 20” multiphase subsea production pipeline. The received product will be separated at the terminal and exported through onshore gas, condensate and produced water pipelines.[5]
