Azerbaijan’s Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov met with bp’s Regional President for Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Türkiye, Giovanni Cristofoli.
The meeting focused on strengthening long-term and effective cooperation between Azerbaijan and bp, a strategic energy partner. The sides discussed the current state of collaboration in the oil, gas, and renewable energy sectors, as well as the implementation of joint projects.
In this regard, the meeting reviewed measures carried out under the projects aimed at stabilizing oil production at the Azeri-Chirag-Deepwater Gunashli (ACG) field and developing the free gas project at ACG.
