When does TotalEnergies plan to start the second phase of the Absheron gas field development, and what is the current status of the project?

TotalEnergies expects to proceed with the second development phase of Azerbaijan's Absheron gas-condensate field by end-2026. The project is currently at the tendering stage, and appraisal work for the second phase has been completed.

What are the key technical and operational features of Absheron’s second phase, including production capacity, composition, and infrastructure?

The second phase will involve subsea development of three new wells, each expected to produce around 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, with gas accounting for about 70% and condensate for 30% of output. It includes a 140-km pipeline directly from the field to shore without offshore production platforms; some gas will be exported to Turkey via the South Caucasus Pipeline, while the rest will supply Azerbaijan's domestic market.
