The AKG project initiated operations in December 2009, and it will have 1,250 million cubic feet per day (mcfd) of sales gas capacity.

Exxon Mobil said that it had utilized modern technologies, including its proprietary Fast Drill and well completion technologies, in order to reduce drilling time and optimize the costs.
