Natural gas production at Azerbaijan's Absheron Field in the Caspian Sea could begin in late 2019 or early 2020, an official at Azeri state energy company SOCAR said on April 25.
Absheron is a gas field in the Caspian Sea located 100 km southeast of Baku, Azerbaijan, and 25 km northeast of the Shah Deniz gas field. It covers about 270 sq km and is operated by French major Total.
