据海上能源6月20日报道，哈萨克斯坦国有石油和天然气公司KazMunayGas（KMG）已经向阿塞拜疆国家石油公司(SOCAR)交付了一台名为Satti的自升式钻机，用于在里海阿塞拜疆段开展业务。

Satti钻机于6月19日星期三抵达巴库。欢迎仪式由KMG管理委员会主席Alik Aidarbayev和SOCAR总裁Rovnag Abdullayev参加。

据KMg称，Satti是哈萨克斯坦第一个在三年内完全建造的钻机。

钻机交付SOCAR之前，KMG和SOCAR于2019年1月底签署了一项谅解备忘录，其中规定了两家公司之间开展合作的机会，包括在里海的勘探。

具体而言，两家公司同意联合研究勘探碳氢化合物的地质和地球物理数据，以及在石油和石油产品的物流和贸易方面的合作。作为第一个具体的合作项目，该备忘录提出了KMG的浮式钻机Satti到阿塞拜疆SOCAR的运输。

双方还商定先对该钻机进行升级，然后再用于里海阿塞拜疆段的SOCAR钻井项目，以确保在6 000多米深的勘探井中钻探。

不到一个月后，也就是在2019年2月，两家公司签订了自升式钻机的信托契约。 双方一致同意，自升式钻机也将用于BP正在开发的Absheron建设中。

此外，自升式钻机在里海阿塞拜疆段作业期间，哈萨克斯坦专家也将参与钻探和提供技术支持。

SOCAR在周四的另一份声明中表示，该钻机的升级将在里海钻井公司(CDC)的海上供应和后勤基地进行。这些工程预计将在今年年底完成。CDC将在钻井作业期间管理该钻机。

Azerbaijan gets jack-up rig for Caspian Sea ops from Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan’s state-owned oil and gas company KazMunayGas (KMG) has delivered a jack-up drilling rig named Satti to Azerbaijan’s SOCAR for operations in Azerbaijan’s sector of the Caspian Sea.

The Satti rig arrived in Baku on Wednesday, June 19. The welcoming ceremony was attended by Alik Aidarbayev, the Chairman of the Management Board of KMG, and Rovnag Abdullayev, the president of SOCAR.

According to KMG, Satti was the first drilling rig to be built entirely in Kazakhstan over three years.

The delivery of the rig to SOCAR follows a memorandum of understanding signed between KMG and SOCAR in late January 2019, which set out opportunities for cooperation between the two companies, including exploration in the Caspian Sea.

Specifically, the two companies agreed on a joint study of geological and geophysical data to explore for hydrocarbons, as well as the cooperation in logistics and trading of oil and oil products. As the first specific project for cooperation, the memorandum set forth transportation of floating drilling rig Satti owned by KMG to Azerbaijan’s SOCAR.

It was also agreed for the rig to be upgraded before it is used for SOCAR’s drilling projects in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea to ensure drilling of exploration wells with the depth of over 6,000 meters.

Less than a month later, in February 2019, the two companies signed a deed of trust for the jack-up rig. It was agreed that the jack-up would also be used in the Absheron structure that is being developed by BP.

Furthermore, Kazakh experts will participate in the drilling and render technical support during the operation of the jack-up rig in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea.

In a separate statement on Thursday SOCAR said that the upgrade of the rig would be done at marine supply and logistics base of its Caspian Drilling Company (CDC). The works are expected to be completed by the end of this year. CDC will manage the rig during its drilling operations
