Oil from Caspain Seabed
“Neftyaniye kamni” is a big oil field in the open sea. Long before the discovery explorers found black underwater rocks covered with oil. From these comes the name of the oil field which means – “Oil Rocks”.
Neftyaniye kamni of today is a town over the open sea. The causeway linking it with the mainland is over 200 km. The oil field yields one-third of Azerbaijan oil.
The population exceeds five thousand. The construction of tall block of flats is underway.
In the early days oil was pumped from areas where the depth of the sea was 7 metres. Now in certain places it is pumped from the seabed 40 metres below the surface.
Sea oil and gas are delivered to the shore through numerous underwater pipes.
