(MENAFN- AzerNews)

In this context, the growing volumes of Kazakh oil transported via the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline should be seen not merely as a logistical adjustment, but as a tangible outcome of regional energy cooperation. The expectation that 1.6 million tons of oil will be shipped from Kazakhstan's Aktau port through BTC in 2026 is a concrete indicator of this evolving partnership.
