Commenting on a brief review of Azerbaijan’s gas sector in 2015, Gurbanov said that for first time, the country’s commercial gas production hit 18.9 billion cubic meters in 2015, some 0.2 bcm more than the previous year.

He added that commercial gas production was raised from both Shah Deniz and Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli fields’ associated gas. All of these fields are operated by BP. Azerbaijan produced 9.9 bcm of commercial gas from Shah Deniz Stage 1 in 2015, he said.

However, he said that the total gas production in Azerbaijan (including flared and re-injected gas to oil wells) reached 29.4 bcm in 2015, some 0.2 bcm less than 2014.
