Over 11.2 million metric tons (82.32 million bbl) of oil were shipped via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, and 243,434 metric tons (1.8 million bbl) via the Baku-Novorossiisk pipeline.
Oil production in Azerbaijan grew 14.1% year-on-year in January-April to 15.8 million metric tons (116.1 million bbl), the South Caucasus country's top statistics body said earlier. Gas output in the reporting period grew 79.8% to 5.2 billion cubic meters.
Azerbaijan holds vast oil and gas reserves in the Caspian Sea, which it exports to neighboring Georgia, Turkey, and Europe through three pipelines - Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan via Georgia to Turkey, Baku-Novorossiisk, which links the Azeri capital with the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiisk, and Baku-Supsa to Georgia.
