In July of this year, revenues of the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) from the sale of profit oil from the block Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli (ACG) decreased by 7.7% or $ 39 million to $ 465 million.
As Turan was told in the press service of the State Oil Fund, for the first 7 months of this year the Oil Fund received $ 2 billion 770 million from the ACG project.
Note that according to the consortium’s forecasts, the ACG production will begin to decline in September and, as a result, this will affect the Oil Fund’s income in Q4 of this year.
