Tainted oil issue cuts Azerbaijan BTC exports by six per cent in 11 months

The BTC pipeline, which runs through Georgia to Turkey, is used to export oil from the Azeri, Chirag and Guneshli oilfields, which are operated by BP.

Azerbaijan’s total oil transit in the first eleven months of the year amounted to 33.4 million tonnes, of which 74.6 per cent were shipped through the BTC, according to the country’s statistics committee.
