Azerbaijan, Baku, Aug.2 / Trend /
SOCAR exported about 1.17 million tons of oil via the Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline in January-July compared to slightly more than one million tons in January-June, SOCAR said.
SOCAR exported about 85,650 tons of oil from Novorossiysk in July compared to about 163,740 tons in June.
SOCAR exported 2.24 million tons of oil from Novorossiysk in 2010 compared to 2.5 million tons in 2009.
SOCAR transships its own oil, as well as oil of joint ventures and operating companies operating in Azerbaijan's onshore fields, through Novorossiysk.
Until late 2007, AIOC was the operator of Baku-Novorossiysk. The structure then transferred these functions to SOCAR.
