BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 14. Throughput of Baku-Supsa or Western Route Export Pipeline (WREP) stood at 20 mboe/d in 2022, Trend reports with reference to bp.
In February 2023 WREP was restarted for two weeks following a temporary suspension of liftings from the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan in the wake of the Turkish earthquake on February 6, 2023.
WREP transports oil from Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) to Supsa on the Black Sea coast of Georgia. Exports through the pipeline have been suspended since May 2022 due to a lack of nominations from the shipper group.
The length of the pipeline is 837 kilometers. Its throughput capacity exceeds 7 million tons of oil per year (145,000 barrels per day). The pipeline operator is bp. The final point of oil transportation is the Black Sea port of Supsa in Georgia. Then the oil is transported by tankers to consumers in Europe.
