Shah Deniz Stage 2 will add an additional 16 billion cubic metres per annum (bcma) of gas production to the approximated 9 bcma produced by Shah Deniz Stage 1.

The development will help increase European energy security by bringing Caspian gas resources to markets in Europe.

The Shah Deniz field was discovered in 1999, about 70km south-east of Baku, with water depths of 50m to 550m.

It is estimated that the field holds 40 trillion cubic feet of gas, with its reservoirs situated approximately 6,000m below sea level.
