BP to suspend operations at Caspian Sea platform

A BP spokeswoman said earlier this week the company would suspend operations on Chirag, but did not specify when the maintenance was expected to start and how long it would last.

"The planned maintenance on Chirag platform will start on October 20 or October 22 and will last for 20 days," the source, who did not want to be named, told Reuters.

Chirag is one of main offshore oilfields in Azerbaijan operated by BP.
