The well was put into operation at the Gunashli offshore field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea after being overhauled.
The Gunashli field plays an important role in Azerbaijan`s oil and gas industry. The field`s shallow part is developed by SOCAR on its own, while its deep-water part is developed jointly with foreign partners.
Currently, SOCAR is implementing a program for stabilizing and increasing the oil production.
The company produced 3.16 million tons of oil at offshore and onshore fields in January-May 2016 as compared to 3.46 million tons in January-May 2015.
