Prime Minister of Lithuania Gediminas Kirkilas and his delegation visited the Sangachal Terminal, one of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas processing terminals, on the last day of Azerbaijan trip.

Located 45km south of Baku in the Garadaq district, the Sangachal Terminal is a vital link in Azerbaijan’s oil and gas industry.

The Lithuanian Premier was welcomed by Vice President of Azerbaijan’s State Oil Company Khoshbakht Yusifzade.

Gediminas Kirkilas was informed that the Terminal covers an area of 730 hectares, and first export of oil from here was achieved in October 1997.

The Lithuanian delegation viewed a photo exhibition and saw a documentary film about what has been done so far under the “Contract of the Century”.

Afterwards, the Prime Minister of Lithuania familiarized himself with the key facilities at the site, which include crude oil storage tanks, oil and gas processing trains, main power generators and pumps and a central control room.
