Azerbaijan, Baku, November 11 /Trend, E. Ismailov /

The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) will end implementation of a program of increase of gasification level in the country prior to May 2013, SOCAR President Rovnag Abdullayev told journalists on Friday.

As a result of the program, gasification rate in the country will reach to 95 percent, he said.

Under the program, gasification rate in Baku and in a number of regions will reach to 100 percent. However, it will be no possible to raise gasification rate up to 100 percent in some regions, especially mountainous ones due to economic inexpediency of gasification of some remote villages, Abdullayev said.
In line with the program, the SOCAR will gasify 590,000 clients in regions and some 300,000 clients in Baku suburban settlements.

At the moment, the SOCAR works to replace the gas transportation infrastructure that is out of order, and re-gasifies Baku suburban settlements to reduce losses that may result from gas transportation.
