BTC pipeline exports dropped by 8.6% year-on-year in the first five months, as Azerbaijan slows down its crude oil transportation.
- According to official data, from January to May 2026, Azerbaijan’s oil exports via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline fell to 10.6 million tons, representing a year-on-year decrease of 8.6%.

- Data from the State Statistical Committee of Azerbaijan shows that in the first five months of 2026, the country’s total oil transit volume was 13.8 million tons, of which 76.8% was transported through the BTC pipeline. During the same period, the transit volume of oil from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan via this pipeline declined from 1.934 million tons in the same period last year to 1.856 million tons.
