Pipeline flow restored

Flow in the BP pipeline that flows through Georgia (BTC pipeline), and that had been shut since a fire earlier this month, started back up. This must come as good news to Azerbaijan, which has seen many of its export pathways disrupted in the last month.

Production is increasing at BP’s Azeri oil field and all output is feeding the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, he said, declining to specify how much of the link’s 1 million-barrel-a-day capacity is being used.
