BP's exploration drilling campaign in the Shallow-Water Absheron Peninsula (SWAP) licence off Azerbaijan has been delayed until next year, writes Kama Mustafayeva.
A source said: “We planned to spud the first well this year provided that a drilling unit would be available for that. Now we know that it will not be until next year.”
BP plans to use the Kazakhstan-flagged jack-up Satti for the drilling campaign, but has yet to sign a formal contract.
