Georgian subsidiary of Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR (SOCAR Georgia) has supplied about 747 million cubic meters of gas to Georgia in the first quarter of 2019, Ibrahim Ahmadov, deputy head of the SOCAR public relations and events department, told Trend.

Regarding the expansion of SOCAR’s gas station network in Georgia, he noted that a multifunctional gas station, located on the highway near Terjola, is at the final stage of construction. It is planned to open the station closer to the end of the year, Ahmadov added.

SOCAR exports gas extracted at Azerbaijani fields through its own funds to Georgia without participation of foreign companies. Moreover, Georgia receives Azerbaijani gas extracted at Shah Deniz offshore field with participation of SOCAR and foreign companies.

Presently, SOCAR is the major supplier of natural gas, oil and oil products to Georgia. SOCAR’s subsidiaries are engaged in expansion and modernization of the country’s gas distribution systems, development of filling stations under SOCAR’s brand and have an oil terminal in Georgia’s Kulevi Black Sea Port, which supplies Azerbaijani oil and oil products to the world markets.
