Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum pipeline transport increases 18%

Azerbaijan's main gas pipelines pumped 29.611 billion cubic meters of gas in 2020, a 7.6% increase from a year earlier.

According to the State Statistics Committee, during the reporting period, 41.4% or 12.268 billion cubic meters of gas was delivered via the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum South Caucasus Pipeline, a growth of 17.8% from January-November 2019.

The South Caucasus Pipeline supplies gas from the Shah Deniz condensate field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey. The South Caucasus Pipeline was commissioned in late 2006 and began transporting gas produced as part of the first phase of Shah Deniz field development. In the summer of 2018, the South Caucasus Pipeline started delivering the Shah Deniz gas to Turkey-TANAP.
