Transportation (Midstream)
Azerikimya Transportation (Midstream) plays a crucial role as the intermediate phase of operations for oil and gas companies worldwide. Beyond pipelines—the most cost-efficient method for exporting hydrocarbons to global markets—it oversees transportation and storage to terminals, as well as delivery of crude to refineries via pipelines, rail, sea (tankers), or the national gas distribution network. Following Azerbaijan’s independence, Azerikimya Transportation (Midstream) rapidly developed and commissioned numerous pipelines, executing domestic, regional, and international projects.
After the signing of the Contract of the Century, the Baku–Novorossiysk pipeline, one of the first to be constructed, was fully commissioned in 1997. The Western Export Pipeline (Baku–Supsa), initiated after the 1996 agreement between Azerbaijan and Georgia, was completed in 1998. The Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline opened direct access for Azerbaijani oil to international markets.
The South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP), expanded in 2007, enabled transportation of natural gas from the Shah Deniz field to Georgia and Türkiye. As part of the Shah Deniz 2 project, the Trans-Anatolian Gas Pipeline (TANAP) and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) were built to deliver Azerbaijani gas to Türkiye and European markets, ensuring long-term energy security for Europe, diversifying supply routes, and fostering a competitive energy market. Together, these pipelines form the 3,500 km Southern Gas Corridor, connecting Europe and Asia.
The Kulevi terminal provides storage for oil, gas, and refined products, with a loading and unloading capacity of 10 million tons per year. The Azerikimya Transportation (Midstream) Terminal in Izmir’s Aliaga district facilitates direct trade between the Far East and Northern Europe. The Dubendi Terminal, spanning 106 hectares, can handle up to 20 million tons of products annually.
