The January increase in revenues of the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) from the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli (ACG) block of fields and the Shah Deniz gas condensate field was due to a growth in the state's share of profit oil, the sale price of profit condensate, and high European spot gas prices, SOFAZ told Report.
