据阿塞拜疆新闻10月23日消息称，Sherman表示：“世界上最大的两个石油和天然气项目—Azeri Chirag Guneshli和Shah Deniz——加强了阿塞拜疆的能源行业，这两个项目的合同一直延续到21世纪40年代末。目前的投资，包括新阶段的潜力，将在未来几十年里开发出数十亿桶的油当量。”
不过，这位分析师表示，由于全球工业的变化，阿塞拜疆应该竞争在新油气项目上的投资。
阿塞拜疆的能源行业仍有巨大的未开发潜力。
Sherman补充说：“当石油需求达到峰值时，该国还必须适应能源转型和新的预期。这包括加快国内可再生能源的发展，以实现可持续的能源部门和经济发展。”
这位分析人士指出，同里海地区的其他国家一样，阿塞拜疆的新石油和天然气项目在技术和商业上往往越来越复杂。
Sherman表示：“简单的项目大部分已经完成。在里海深海区，将进一步勘探和生产来自深度和压力都很大的储集层的天然气。BP和SOCAR联合开发的Shafag-Asiman勘探井就是一个很好的例子。这是一口非常复杂的井，为长期开发提供了巨大的资源。”
这位分析师补充说，使用最新技术和成本管理将是里海内陆地区石油和天然气行业的两大重点。
Azeri Chirag Guneshli（ACG）是里海最大的油气田，面积超过432平方公里。ACG区块油气田已探明石油储量约12亿吨，天然气储量约3500亿立方米。
1994年签署了开发ACG区块油气田的合同，为期30年。2最近于2017年签署的协议规定，该油田的开发将持续到2050年。
Shah Deniz是一个巨大的凝析气田，其储量估计为1.2万亿立方米天然气和2.4亿吨凝析油。据预测，在油田开发的第二阶段，天然气产量将增加到每年240亿立方米。
Shah Deniz 2是新的南部天然气走廊的起点，它将通过TAP管道作为TANAP的延伸，首次将里海资源直接输送到欧洲市场。

Azerbaijan to produce billions of barrels of oil in coming decades
“Azerbaijan’s energy sector is strengthened by the two world’s largest oil and gas projects - Azeri Chirag Guneshli and Shah Deniz, contracts for which were extended until the late 2040s. Current investments, including potential for new phases, will open billions of barrels of oil equivalent during the next decades, "Sherman said.
However, according to the analyst, Azerbaijan should compete for investment in new oil and gas projects due to the changes in global industry.
The energy sector of Azerbaijan still has a significant untapped potential.
"The country must also adapt to the energy transition and new expectations when oil demand reaches its maximum. This includes acceleration of the renewable energy sources development within the country for a sustainable energy sector and economy," Sherman added.
The analyst noted that, just like in other countries of the Caspian region, new oil and gas projects in Azerbaijan are often becoming more technically and commercially complex.
"The easy projects have mostly been completed. Further exploration and production of gas from reservoirs at great depth and pressure in the deepwater areas of the Caspian Sea is to be done. Shafag-Asiman exploration well developed by BP and SOCAR is a good example. This is a very complicated well that offers enormous resources for the long-term development, "Sherman said.
The analyst added that the use of the latest technologies and cost management will be the two main priorities for the oil and gas sector of the landlocked Caspian Sea.
Azeri Chirag Guneshli (ACG) is the largest oil and gas field in the Caspian Sea, covering more than 432 square kilometres. Proven oil reserves of ACG block of oil and gas fields are estimated at 1.2 billion tons, while gas reserves make 350 billion cubic meters.
A contract for the development of ACG block of oil and gas fields was signed in 1994 for 30 years. The recent agreement signed in 2017 provides for the development of the field until 2050.
Shah Deniz is a giant gas condensate field, reserves of which are estimated at 1.2 trillion cubic meters of gas and 240 million tons of condensates. Within the second stage of field development, the volume of gas production can be increased to 24 billion cubic meters per year, according to forecasts.
Shah Deniz 2 is the starting point of the new Southern Gas Corridor, which will deliver Caspian resources directly to European markets for the first time through TAP pipeline as an extension of TANAP.
