The milestone was achieved on August 26, 2023 - 16-and-a-half-years after we first announced the start-up of commercial gas production from the field and start-up of operations of the South Caucasus Pipeline.
First production from the field, which was announced on December 15, 2006, marked the start of Stage 1 of the field development and since then Stage 1 gas has been successfully and reliably delivered to markets in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Türkiye.
The next big development milestone of Shah Deniz was achieved in 2018 - the year of the commencement of commercial gas deliveries to Türkiye from Shah Deniz 2 and the achievement of the first gas production from the Shah Deniz Bravo platform at the end of July.
