The Sangachal terminal exported over 171 million barrels of oil
and condensate to world markets in the three quarters of 2022, bp
Azerbaijan told Azernews.
This includes about 164 million barrels through the
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and around 7 million barrels through the
western (Baku-Supsa) route export pipeline.
On average, around 67 million cubic meters of Shah Deniz gas
were exported from the terminal daily. Gas is exported via the
South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP), the SCP expansion system, and via
Azerbaijan's pipelines connecting the terminal's gas processing
facilities with Azerigas national grid system.
The daily capacity of the terminal's processing systems is
currently 1.2 million barrels of crude oil and condensate, and
around 100 million cubic meters of gas, including 81 million cubic
meters for Shah Deniz gas.
The report adds that the daily average throughput of the South
Caucasus Pipeline was 56.1 million cubic meters of gas during the
three quarters of the year. The South Caucasus Pipeline spent
around $49 million in operating expenditures and around $4 million
in capital expenditures.
The SCP has been operational since late 2006, transporting Shah
Deniz gas to Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkiye. The expanded section
of the pipeline commenced commercial deliveries to Turkiye in June
2018 and to Europe in December 2020.
The South Caucasus Pipeline was built to export Shah Deniz gas
from Azerbaijan to Georgia and Turkiye. The pipeline starts from
the Sangachal terminal near Baku. It follows the route of the BTC
crude oil pipeline through Azerbaijan and Georgia to Turkiye, where
it is linked to the Turkish gas distribution system.
The Sangachal terminal is an oil and gas terminal that receives,
processes, stores, and exports crude oil and gas produced from all
currently operated BP assets in the Caspian basin and has room for
expansion. The terminal includes oil and gas processing facilities,
the first pump station for the BTC oil pipeline, the South Caucasus
gas pipeline (SCP) compressor, and other facilities.
