Optimizing the Azeri Field asset

Increasing oil and gas production is a key business driver. As a result, companies are spending more time optimizing what they have already found. BP has achieved good results using sustainable best practices and process optimization solutions. AZERI ASSET The Azeri oil and gas production asset is within the top five BP investments worldwide and is possibly one of the world’s most complex oil systems.
