Construction of oil production islands

Main contractor: Islands Building company

In the northern part of the Caspian Sea, gas and oil reserves were discovered in 1998 and 1999. To ensure their operation, an artificial island measuring 225x225 m was created. Two underwater berms were also constructed. First was placed next to the main site, and the second in a completely isolated sea site at the depth of 8 meters.

This project in the Caspian Sea provided for the construction of two corridors. These corridors have the following characteristics: length - 450 and 550 meters, width - 20 meters.

Also after some time the construction of the island near the borehole and ice barricades will be completed. Once they are established, production and distribution of oil reserves can start.
