Therefore, one of the projects is the use of the jackup rig in the Absheron structure that is being developed by British Petroleum.

Furthermore, Kazakh experts will participate in the drilling and render technical support during the operation of the jackup rig in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea.
