AZERIKIMYA
Contaminated Soil Remediation
The first oil wells were drilled in Bibiheybet in 1847 and later in Balakhani, leading to significant soil pollution due to early oil production practices.
AZERIKIMYA considers the remediation of oil-contaminated lands a key environmental responsibility.
Restoration Initiatives
Following the national environmental program (2006–2010), AZERIKIMYA began large-scale remediation of polluted areas, applying modern technologies and international best practices.
Monitoring & GIS System
Comprehensive environmental monitoring was conducted, including:
