Last year increase in the gas deliveries via SCP was connected with growth of gas export from the Shah-Deniz to Georgia. For the first time the Shah-Deniz project partners have started commercial deliveries to the neighboring country. Before that Georgia received only free transit gas from the Shah-Deniz.
Natural gas extracted from the Shah-Deniz offshore gas condensate field is exported via SCP. Gas is delivered to Georgia and Turkey. The partners of the Shah-Deniz production sharing agreement (PSA) are BP (operator with 28.8%), Statoil (15.5%), SOCAR (16.7%), LUKoil (10%), NICO (10%), Total (10%) and TPAO (9%).—0--
