The Azerbaijani National Science Academy’s Institute of Geology has started the search for oil in the Evlakh region near Mingechaur, the academy reports.
On the results of the geological research, carried out in 1940-60-s in the area of the Ajinour mountain chain, this region was evaluated as potentially productive and oil-and-gas bearing. Back then the probe wells were drilled but due to the inferior state of the scientific development they haven’t reached the desired stage.
