据阿塞新闻12月17日消息：阿塞拜疆报告称，2020年1月至11月期间，阿塞拜疆通过主要天然气管道运输的天然气增加了7.2%。
在本报告所述期间，阿塞拜疆主要天然气管道输送了262亿立方米的天然气。
南高加索管道(巴库-第比利斯-埃尔祖鲁姆管道)占天然气运输的41.9%。今年前11个月，通过这条管道输送了112亿立方米天然气。
值得注意的是，在2020年前10个月，该国天然气产量为305亿立方米。在天然气总产量中，Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli天然气产量为97亿立方米，Shah Deniz天然气产量为147亿立方米。SOCAR在此期间生产了61亿立方米的天然气。此外，在报告期内，海外天然气销售达到108亿立方米，与2019年同期相比增长15%。
南高加索管道是为了从阿塞拜疆向格鲁吉亚和土耳其出口Shah Deniz天然气而修建的。输油管道从巴库附近的Sangachal终端开始。沿着巴库-第比利斯-杰伊汉(BTC)原油管道经过阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚到达土耳其，在那里与土耳其的天然气分配系统相连。
该管道从2006年底开始运营，将天然气输送到阿塞拜疆和格鲁吉亚，并从2007年7月开始从Shah Deniz第一阶段输送到土耳其。

Azerbaijan boosts natural gas transportation via main gas pipelines
Azerbaijan increased transport of natural gas through main gas pipelines by 7.2 percent during the period of January-November 2020, Azertag has reported.
During the reported period, Azerbaijan’s main gas pipelines transported 26.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
South Caucasus Pipeline (or Baku-Tbilisi Erzurum pipeline) accounted for 41.9 percent of natural gas transportation. Thus, during the first eleven months of the year, 11.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas were transported via this pipeline.
It should be noted that in the first ten months of 2020, the country produced 30.5 billion cubic meters of gas. Of the total natural gas production, Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli accounted for 9.7 billion cubic meters, while Shah Deniz accounted for 14.7 billion cubic meters of gas. SOCAR produced 6.1 billion cubic meters of gas during this period. Moreover, during the reported period, gas sales abroad amounted to 10.8 billion cubic meters, which is an increase by 15 percent compared to the corresponding period of 2019.
The South Caucasus Pipeline was built to export the Shah Deniz gas from Azerbaijan to Georgia and Turkey. The pipeline starts from the Sangachal terminal near Baku. It follows the route of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) crude oil pipeline through Azerbaijan and Georgia to Turkey, where it is linked to the Turkish gas distribution system.
The pipeline has been operational since late 2006 transporting gas to Azerbaijan and Georgia, and starting from July 2007 to Turkey from Shah Deniz Stage 1.
