According to AZERTAC, citing the Ministry of Energy, the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field accounted for 6.6 billion cubic meters, Shah Deniz for 13.8 billion cubic meters, Absheron for 0.8 billion cubic meters, and SOCAR for around 4 billion cubic meters.

During the same period, gas exports declined by 4.72%, totaling 12.1 billion cubic meters. Of this amount, 6.1 billion cubic meters (down 4.7%) were delivered to Europe, 4.9 billion cubic meters (down 2%) to Türkiye, and 1.1 billion cubic meters (down 15.4%) to Georgia. It is worth noting that 2.9 billion cubic meters of gas were transported to Türkiye via the TANAP pipeline during this period — an increase of 3.57%.

From the start of operations at the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) and Shah Deniz fields through July 1 of this year, approximately 660.1 million tonnes of oil (including condensate) and 487.1 billion cubic meters of gas have been produced — representing increases of 3.2% and 9.2%, respectively. Specifically, 609.5 million tonnes of oil and 236.5 billion cubic meters of gas have been extracted from the ACG field, while the Shah Deniz field has produced about 50.6 million tonnes of condensate and 250.6 billion cubic meters of gas.

From the start of operations through June 1, 2025, 658.1 million tonnes of oil and 180.2 billion cubic meters of gas have been exported.
