A BP-led consortium of foreign companies is to start drilling new wells in East Azeri platform from the block of oil fields Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG). 

Drilling of a water-injection well D-17 in the platform came to the end, BP-Azerbaijan said. 

Two producing wells, D-18 and D-19, will be drilled in eastern part of the Azeri field by the end of 2010. 

Fourteen wells were put into operation in the East Azeri platform. In six months, 150 million barrels, or over 20.2 million tons of oil, was produced in Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli, while daily production made up about 827,600 barrels.
