Drilling Operations Department in Absheron, Primorsk and Neft Dashlari will close, and instead of them will be created divisional structures for drilling operations, Turan was told by Mirvari Gahramanli, the head of the Committee to Protect Oil Workers’ Rights.
According to her , the elimination of these departments will cause large staff reductions in the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR.)
She also believes that the establishment of the district structures will be a revival of the Soviet system. Gahramanli expressed concern that the jobs will be given not according to professional qualities, but under the patronage. The human rights activist also said that the reorganization will be also in the gas departments, which will be merged into a single department.
Gahramanli believes that the “Azerigas”, "Azerkimya" and the Security Department should be withdrawn from SOCAR , as they must operate independently. In this case, the wages of oil workers can be increased by 3-4 times. In turn, SOCAR stated they did not have information on the elimination of the departments, and the coming staff reduction. -05B04-
