The BP PLC (BP)-led Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline exported 22.1
million metric tons of Azeri and Kazakh oil in the first seven
months of 2009, up 5.7% from the same period last year,
Azerbaijan's state oil company Socar said Monday.
The majority of oil shipped through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan
pipeline comes from Azerbaijan's Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli offshore
field in the Caspian Sea.
One million tons of oil from Kazakhstan's Tengiz field was
shipped through the pipeline in the seven month period, Socar
said.
