BP Azerbaijan said on Friday that it had suspended the work of the Shah Deniz Alfa (SDA) platform after detecting a technical issue at the subsea gas condensate export line between the platform and the Sangachal terminal.
“All people on the platform are safe and there is no environmental impact. All offshore facilities including the SDA platform and the pipeline are also safe,” BP said in a statement.
“For operational reasons, production and export operations from the SDA platform were suspended and the platform has been safely shut down … We are currently working to resolve the problem and resume normal operations as quickly as possible,” a spokeswoman told Reuters.
