Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan. 31 / Trend E.Ismayilov /

This year, the Production Union Azerigas of the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) will continue the process of gasification of the Azerbaijani border areas, a source in SOCAR said on Monday.

"The process of gasification of the Azerbaijani border areas has not yet been completed. This work is expected to be continued in 2011. Full completion is likely to be in early 2012," the source said.

The work on gasification will cover the central regions of the country this year.

Mountainous areas will be gasified last, since due to a number of reasons the work requires more time and manpower here.

The source said, as a result of works to be carried out in the field of gasification this figure should reach 90 percent by late 2012.

Total, the number of subscribers in the country is 1.2 million (both businesses and the population).
Azerigas deals with issues of distribution and sales of natural gas in Azerbaijan.
