The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline is expected to pump 22.6 million barrels of crude oil in January, 4.75 million barrels less than the November program, a crude oil trader who received the loading program said.
January loadings will amount to 729,032 barrels of oil a day, compared with 822,258 barrels a day last month, the trader told Dow Jones Newswires.
The January program includes one cargo of 2 million barrels and six cargoes of 1 million barrels, the trader said.
BP PLC (BP) is a 30% stakeholder in the BTC pipeline, which carries Azeri crude from Baku in Azerbaijan to Turkey's Mediterranean port of Ceyhan.
