The Duvanny gas condensate field is located 60 km south-west of Baku, 5-6 km north-west of the Gobustan settlement, near the railway station of the same name. The field is part of the Shamakhy-Gobustan oil and gas region.
The Duvanny rise is a brachianticlinal structure 7-7.5 km long and 1.5-2 km wide, complicated by fractures. Although the structure was discovered in 1937, a detailed study began in 1949. As a result of exploration work in the area, the structural and tectonic structure of the rise has been significantly clarified. The exploration expedition in Duvanny was conducted in 1927-1982. Seismic exploration activities using the Reflection Seismology Method (RS) were carried out from 1948 to 1973 (with short breaks) and the Total Depth Point method (TDP) was applied from 1973 to 1978. SK-ŞSP operations conducted in well number 54 area of Duvanny in 1977.
The Duvanny field is divided into two parts - Eastern Duvanny, a gas-condensate field and Western Duvanny, a free gas field. In the early 1950s, a gas field was discovered in the central part of the structure and in 1961, a gas-condensate accumulation was found in the southeast.
The field was developed for industrial significance in 1955. The gas-condensate field was in operation from 1961 to 1965.
According to the information as of 01.01.2024, a total of 77 wells were drilled in the field, condensate production was 18,676 thousand tons and gas production was 955,877 million m3. The operation fund consists of 12 wells, 6 of which are operational. The daily production of the field is 8.2 thousand m³ of gas.
The field has been operated by Gobustan Operating Company from 1998 to 2022. However, the exploration, development, and production sharing agreement (PSA) for three blocks, including Shikhzegirli, Sheytanud, Burgut, Donguzdug, Nardaran, Ilkhychy, Western Hajivali, Sundi, Eastern Hajivali, Turagay, Kanizadag, Western Duvanny, Duvanny, Solakhay, and Dashgil was terminated on the 20th of April 2022. Currently the prospects of the field are under investigation.
The structure is in the balance of the Nariman Narimanov OGPD of SOCAR’s Azneft PU.
