Azerbaijan’s energy minister, Natig Aliyev, has said the country is on course to produce a total of 29.3 billion cubic metres (bcm) in 2016, after figures for 2015 were released.

“According to forecasts, gas production of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) will amount to 6.3 bcm, while 10.1 bcm is planned to be produced from Shah Deniz field, and the associated gas production from the Azero-Chirag-Guneshli block will amount to 12.09 bcm,” Aliyev said.
