Azerbaijan, Baku, April 29 / Trend, E. Ismailov /

SOCAR's (State Oil Company of Azerbaijan) Azerigaz will begin supplying gas to new consumers in more than 20 regions of Azerbaijan in May, a source in PO told Trend.

According to him, the supply of gas will gradually begin in about 40 settlements in more than 20 regions of the country throughout the month.

"By the end of this year, the gasification level in the country is projected to reach 95 percent," the source said.

The remaining five percent is still unserved due to the remoteness of these settlements as well as the economic unreasonableness of gasification.

SOCAR includes the Azerneft Production Association (companies producing oil and gas onshore and offshore), Azkimya Production Association (chemical industry) and Azerigaz Production Association (distribution and sale of gas).

In addition, the State Oil Company has a number of processing enterprises, service enterprises and institutions engaged in geophysical and drilling operations.
