This year Azerbaijan will receive more than 700 million m3 of gas from gas-condensate field Shah-Deniz, Trend reports quoting the Ministry of Industry and Energy of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan will receive this gas within the contract signed earlier On purchase-sale. The separate part of gas may be received by the country if Turkey cannot receive the gas described in the contract due to the non-completion of Turkish section of South Caucasus Pipeline.
It is intended that in 2006 nearly 1 billion 200 million m3 of gas will be produced from the field.
According to the contract, the gas produced from the field will be sold to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, as well as BTC Co.
