HUNGARIAN PREMIER VISITS SANGACHAL TERMINAL
Hungarian Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany and his delegation visited the Sangachal Terminal, one of the world’s largest integrated oil and gas processing terminals, on the last day of the Azerbaijan trip on Tuesday.
Located 45km south of Baku in the Garadaq district, the Sangachal Terminal is a vital link in Azerbaijan’s oil and gas industry.
The Hungarian Premier was welcomed here by Vice President of Azerbaijan’s State Oil Company Khoshbakh Yusifzade.
Ferenc Gyurcsany was informed that the Terminal covers an area of 730 hectares, and first export of oil from here was achieved in October 1997.
The Hungarian 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 Hungary 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.
