Operation of the riser block platform is almost automatic and requires minimum involvement of the personnel. Continuing operational drilling at Phase 1, the company has sidetracked 2 existing wells.
The V. Filanovsky field was commissioned in 2016. Commercial operation of Phase 2 facilities began in 2018. All the offshore facilities of the company’s Caspian fields have been built at Russian shipyards.
