Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan are strengthening their energy cooperation.
This was stated by KazMunayGas (KMG) CEO Askhat Khasenov in an exclusive interview with Trend on the sidelines of the Baku Energy Forum.
According to him, cooperation between KazMunayGas and the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) covers not only oil transportation, but also other strategic areas.
‘We always consider all possible options for cooperation with our colleagues from SOCAR. Today, we are seeing steady annual growth in oil pumping volumes through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline,’ he said.
A. Khasenov also emphasised that cooperation between the companies goes beyond logistics and includes joint initiatives on industrial safety, digitalisation and decarbonisation. In particular, a four-party document on decarbonisation was signed between KMG, SOCAR, Tatneft and Uzbekneftegaz at the Astana International Forum.
