West Azeri Platform in the Caspian Sea Reaches 1 Billion Barrels. Family Members of SOCAR, MOL, INPEX, Equinor, ExxonMobil, TPAO, ITOCHU, and ONGCVidesh Celebrate.

The West Azeri platform, part of the ACG oil structure in the Caspian Sea, recently reached the milestone of 1 billion barrels in total production.

The announcement was made by BP, the operator of the ACG oil field, on behalf of its partners SOCAR, MOL, INPEX, Equinor, ExxonMobil, TPAO, ITOCHU, and ONGCVidesh. The West Azeri production platform has significantly contributed to the 4.3 billion barrels of total production from ACG since the field started in November 1997.

I would like to congratulate all the teams that contributed to this brilliant success and thank everyone for their safe and efficient performance and excellent delivery. My special thanks to the family members of West Azerbaijan who have been part of this great asset since its first day, said Elkhan Mammadov, Vice President of Production at BP, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey region.

The West Azerbaijan platform was inaugurated in December 2005.

Currently, about 200 people work on the platform, the majority of whom are citizens of Azerbaijan, including both platform managers.

Production of the West Azerbaijan Platform

More than 40 wells and several deviations have been drilled in West Azerbaijan since 2005. Currently, 35 of them are active – 26 producers and nine water injectors.

One of the first wells that came into operation in 2005 is C-06 – a top producer well with an initial production rate of 35,000 barrels of oil per day. To date, the well has delivered a total production of 80 million barrels.

The current daily production of West Azerbaijan is 85,000 barrels of oil.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Car dealerships avoid these used cars like they’re bombs: famous engines, problematic belts, and expensive transmissions can turn a common purchase into a huge loss in the USA.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

More than 160 million gallons of water, equivalent to 240 Olympic swimming pools, need to be pumped to remove a 100,000-ton nuclear aircraft carrier from dry dock; each of these ships undergoes a complete overhaul costing US$2.8 billion.

With installments starting from R$ 999 per month, a 75 hp 1.0 engine, a 7-inch TFT digital panel, and standard stability control, the Citroën C3 is the cheapest hatchback in Brazil in 2026 and still leaves Kwid, Argo, and Mobi behind in onboard technology.
