Our projects and operations
BP is the operator of a number of these major upstream and midstream projects in Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey.
The Production Sharing Agreement for the developments of Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field, so called the Contract of the Century, was signed in 1994. The field is now fully operational, and oil is being produced from the following platforms: Chirag, Central Azeri, West Azeri, East Azeri and Deepwater Gunashli.
The 1768 km long Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline has been built to address the export solutions for Azerbaijan. The pipeline crosses the territories of three countries – Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, starting from the Sangachal terminal at the Caspian Sea and finishing with the Ceyhan terminal in the Turkish coast of the Mediterranean, from where ACG oil is delivered to the international markets.
The Shah Deniz project is a gas condensate development in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea with gas export to markets in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. The South Caucasus pipeline (SCP) is a gas pipeline to transport Shah Deniz gas from Azerbaijan through Georgia to the Turkish border.
All these developments converge at the Sangachal Terminal, located 55 km south of Baku and covering an area of 540 hectares. It includes ACG oil and gas storage and processing facilities, BTC oil export project’s head pump station, Shah Deniz/SCP project’s main gas compression station. The terminal also processes associated gas produced offshore which is delivered to SOCAR (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic) to serve the domestic markets.
