Read moreThe Shah Deniz Compression (SDC) platform will be Azerbaijan's first unmanned platform, unlike the other nine platforms.
Azernews reports that Elshad Maharramli, project manager, shared this information during a public meeting on the Environmental and Socio-Economic Impact Assessment (ESIA) draft for the Shah Deniz Compression project.
He emphasized that this innovative platform would reduce costs and incorporate new technologies. Workers will visit twice a year, spending 15 days each time performing technical maintenance. They will arrive by ship, as helicopter access is not planned.
To reduce the risk of ship collisions, a 500-meter exclusion zone has been established around the platform. The project also includes connecting the compressed gas to existing pipelines and sending it to the Sangachal terminal.
