The BP PLC (BP)-led Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline exported 17.7 million metric tons of Azeri and Kazakh oil in the first six months of 2009, up 1.1% from the same period last year, Azerbaijan's state oil company Socar said Thursday.
Oil shipments through the Turkish port of Ceyhan slipped 4.3% to 17.5 million tons in the first half of 2009, Socar said.
Oil shipped through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline comes from Azerbaijan's Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli offshore field in the Caspian Sea and from Kazakhstan's Tengiz field.
