MOSCOW, Nov 18 (PRIME) -- Russian gas giant Gazprom will pump up to 1 billion cubic meters to Azerbaijan until March under a new contract with state oil and gas company SOCAR, , Gazprom said in a statement in its Telegram channel on Friday.
Gazprom pumped gas to Azerbaijan in 2000–2006, but the country started ramping up its own production at the Shah Deniz field to export it to Georgia and Turkey. The company restarted pumping to Azerbaijan in 2017–2018, but the country stopped buying Russian gas again in 2019 after the launch of the second stage of Shah Deniz.
