Gunashli oilfield

The portion of Gunashli field which is not in the scope of the ACG project lies in depth of water and developed by State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) while the deep-water section developed by BP within the ACG project is at . It consisted of 4 steel jackets for drilling of 10 wells. As per 1980 data, the platform produced 320 tonnes of oil per day. ==Eastern deep water section==

The deep water section of Gunashli (also called DWG) field has been included for development within the ACG project's Phase III. First oil from DWG was produced on 20 April 2008 from one of 10 pre-drilled wells. DWG now produces nearly of the total from ACG fields complex. ACG's DWG complex is located in the eastern side of the Gunashli field and includes two bridge-linked platforms: • a 48-slot drilling, utilities and quarters (DUQ) platform • a process, gas compression, water injection and utilities (PCWU) platform Oil produced at DWG is transported through a oil pipeline tie-ins and single gas pipeline tie-in into pre-installed pipeline junctions from Azeri field leading to Sangachal Terminal. ==1986 fire==

In Soviet times, on 12 July 1986, a fire broke out on an exploration platform in the Gunashli oilfield. Three oil workers and two rescuers died. While the incident was blamed on an engineer, widespread rumors claimed that faulty and outdated equipment caused the fire. After this incident, a minor protest against government neglect took place in front of the Government House. Protestors were arrested and described as hooligans by the Soviet press. ==2015 fire==

On 4 December 2015, a deadly fire broke out in the northern part of platform No. 10 at the western section of the oilfield. The fire started, according to SOCAR, when a high-pressure underwater gas pipeline was damaged in a heavy storm. As a result of the fire, the platform, which had been in service since 1984, partially collapsed. At the time of the accident, 63 workers were on the platform. ==See also==
