Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 5
By Maksim Tsurkov – Trend:
Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR will ship 160,000 tons of oil from the Russian port of Novorossiysk in December 2016.
The volume will be shipped in two batches. In total, 2.06 million tons of oil will be shipped from the Novorossiysk port in December.
SOCAR delivers the oil produced at its own fields as well as the oil from joint ventures and operation companies working at Azerbaijan’s onshore fields to Novorossiysk. Oil is delivered to the port via the Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline operated by SOCAR.
SOCAR exported 1.27 million tons of oil via the Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline in 2015 compared to 932,160 tons exported in 2014.
SOCAR distributed the export volumes between the Baku-Novorossiysk oil pipeline (1.27 million tons) and the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline (460,000 tons) in 2015.
SOCAR and Russia’s Transneft signed an agreement on oil transportation via the Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline in February 2016. For 2016, the sides agreed that SOCAR will transport 1.3 million tons of oil via the pipeline.
SOCAR has been operating the Baku-Novorossiysk pipeline since 2008. The company took over the operatorship from Azerbaijan International Operating Company, headed by BP.
Below is the schedule of oil shipment from the Novorossiysk port for December, provided by the Energy Intelligence Group.
