Reduction of Azerbaijani oil shipment through various terminals is caused by reduction of extraction on the offshore fields Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli.
The volume of oil shipped from the terminals is profitable oil of Azerbaijan, income from sale of which is accumulated in SOFAZ, and SOCAR’s oil.
Accoring to SOCAR, in June Brent oil was sold at the world markets at an average price of $48.34 per barrel, Urals - $47.15 per barrel and BTC FOB Ceyhan- $49.41 per barrel.—0—
