Transportation via Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum pipeline down by over 2%

In January-May 2025, 17.13 billion cubic meters of gas were transported through Azerbaijan's main gas pipelines, 1.3% less than in the first five months of 2024, Report informs, citing the State Statistical Committee.

Some 54.1% of gas transportation in the specified period was carried out through the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum South Caucasus pipeline. About 9.27 billion cubic meters of gas were transported through this pipeline, 2.1% less than in the previous year.

The South Caucasus Pipeline transports gas produced from the Shah Deniz gas condensate field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Türkiye. The South Caucasus Pipeline was commissioned in late 2006 and began transporting gas produced during the first phase of the Shah Deniz field. Since the summer of 2018, gas produced during the second phase of the Shah Deniz field has been transported to Türkiye via the expansion of the South Caucasus Pipeline - the TANAP pipeline.
