Union Grand Energy - Committed to Smart and Sustainable Development

Our focus doing business, at home and overseas, is on developing and finding new technologies to be more competitive and efficient in our ventures and services.

We call it smart and sustainable development.

What does that mean in our projects and partnerships?

We can see, for example, in our work with international partners on the massive Baku White City redevelopment venture, that our use of new forms of technologies to reclaim abandoned land and build 21st century infrastructure using the latest environment-friendly methods. This kind of public and private partnership, where we combine expertise, investment and cutting edge modern resources, is a model for our business.

Likewise, our upstream oil project at Azerbaijan's Surakhani Oil field, where we have made massive investments to rehabilitate decayed and decrepit facilities, transforming the infrastructure and totally renewing  producing assets, with more than 60 new wells drilled, and more than doubling volumes (you can view images here).

On all our projects we take seriously our mission to not just upgrade facilities but to work actively to improve economic and social conditions for our workers and citizens, including good salaries and jobs. At Surakhani we have kept and added jobs, paid millions in taxes, and continue to invest and reinvest in the community.

Union Grand Energy priorities: Bringing new life, social, and economic activity to our historic urban areas

One of our projects at Union Grand Energy that will revitalize the landscape of Baku is our White City development. 

Working closely with international ventures like Atkins (UK), Foster and Partners (UK) and our Azerbaijan partners, White City is being built as one of the biggest urban development and land reclamation projects constructed on land ecologically reclaimed from a former industrial zone.

Our company mission on all the projects we undertake is to bring high-tech innovation to each of our ventures, in the process creating new work, social activity and economic progress, transforming old and obsolete infrastructure into modern restorations and renewals.
