In January–March of this year, 1 billion cubic meters of associated gas were delivered from the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) oil and gas fields block to the Azerbaijani state, mainly to SOCAR, via the Sangachal terminal and a facility at Oil Rocks, which is 11.1% more compared to the same period last year, APA-Economics reports, citing BP’s report on its activities in Azerbaijan for the first quarter of 2026.
According to the document, during the reporting period, an average of 12 million cubic meters of gas per day was supplied from ACG to SOCAR.
“The remaining part of the produced associated gas was reinjected into the reservoir to maintain pressure,” the report notes.
Note that part of the associated gas produced at ACG is delivered to SOCAR free of charge.
Recall that the share distribution in ACG is as follows: BP – 30.37% (operator), AzACG (SOCAR) – 31.65%, MOL – 9.57%, Inpex – 9.31%, ExxonMobil – 6.79%, TPAO – 5.73%, Itochu – 3.65%, and ONGC Videsh Ltd. (OVL) – 2.92%.
