Turan believes that during first four months in 2016 Azerbaijan received 40.2 million barrels of profitable oil from the ACG.
Why did Azerbaijan make much less when the oil price was the highest? First of all, in January the consortium settled accounts with the government till the end of the month when the prices were higher. Secondly, in April 2016 the production rate was lower, than early this year.—0—
