Transportation of oil via the Baku-Novorossiysk reopened on July 22, reporters were told by the president of SOCAR Rovnag Abdullayev. In June, oil pumping via the Baku-Novorossiysk was suspended, which, according to Abdullayev, was associated with the repair of the pipeline. "Now all the pipes are functioning. We can export oil via any route," said Abdullayev.
He also noted that during 2015 it is planned to transport via the Baku-Novorossiysk 1.5 million tons of oil. -02D-
