Nearly 557 million tons of Azerbaijani oil have been transported through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline to date, APA-Economics reports, citing the Ministry of Energy.
20 years ago – on June 4, 2006 – the first tanker loaded with export crude oil transported through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline was dispatched.
Oil produced from the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli fields and condensate produced from the Shah Deniz field, both located in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea, are transported from Azerbaijan via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. The pipeline starts from the Sangachal terminal and passes through the territories of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Türkiye, extending to the Ceyhan marine terminal on Türkiye’s Mediterranean coast.
The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, which was commissioned in June 2006, began being filled with oil on May 10, 2005, and the crude oil reached the Ceyhan terminal on May 28, 2006.
