What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

SOCAR is actively working to diversify its energy portfolio away from its sole reliance on oil and gas. The company is currently engaged in projects involving hundreds of abandoned Soviet-era wells, where the cleanup process can take between one month for accessible sites and a year for complex cases requiring specialized imports or underwater surveys. Furthermore, SOCAR partnered with IE University through the AZEMBA program to focus on digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development.
