SOCAR increases gas exports by 18% through supplies for Gazprom

This January the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) increased volumes of gas exports from the country by 17.9 percent against last December when export rose by 57.1 percent compared with November of 2009.

The Company said that in January 2010 gas exports totaled 172.8 million cu m versus 146.58 million cu m in December and 167.32 million c.m. in January of 2009.

Exports for December 2008 (178.45 million c. m.) still remain a record indicator for SOCAR.

In 2009, it was exported 1.03 bn c. m. versus 818.93 million c. m. in 2008.

Last year SOCAR increased gas export by 25.9 percent.

In January 2010, SOCAR launched gas supplies for Russia’s Gazprom but that did not tell drastically on export volumes.
