BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 15. Azerbaijan facilitated the conveyance of a cumulative volume of 12.23 million metric tons of crude oil through its primary hydrocarbon conduits during the period spanning January through April 2025.
Data obtained by Trend from the State Statistical Committee indicates
that this metric delineates a contraction of 555,000 tons, equating
to a 4.3 percent reduction, in juxtaposition to the analogous
timeframe in 2024 (12.7 million tons).
It is noteworthy that 76.1 percent of the aggregate throughput was
conveyed via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil export conduit.
