Bahar is an offshore petroleum reservoir in the Caspian Sea, located 40 km (25 mi) southeast of Baku, Azerbaijan. The field was discovered in 1968[1] and was first developed in 1969. Prior to 2010, it produced approximately 16.8 million tonnes of oil and 128.7 billion cubic meters of gas.[2] There had been up to 93 wells operating in the field during the peak of production; the number has since decreased to 16.[3]
