BP says Azeri oil production cut due to power outage

12 December 2006 [21:43] - TODAY.AZ
BP PLC said oil production at the Azeri fields in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea has been partially disrupted by a power outage.

'Production has been cut back over the past couple of days due to power supply interruptions,' said a BP spokeswoman.

Production is expected to be fully restored in the next few days, she added.

Power failure nearly halved the fields' 600,000-barrel per day output, sources estimate. AFX
