Azerbaijan

Country Analysis Brief Overview

Oil and gas development and export is central to Azerbaijan’s economic growth and the country is one of Caspian region’s most important strategic export openings to the West.
Oil production in Azerbaijan recorded an increase over the last few years and remained above the 1 million bbl/d mark in 2011.
With the startup of the Shah Deniz natural gas and condensate field in late 2006, Azerbaijan became a natural gas net exporter.
