Natural gas supplies from Azerbaijan are set to resume on 15 January after a suspension that started on 7 January. The suspension was caused by a pipeline malfunction that impacted the transportation of natural gas to the Sangachal terminal near Baku. BP, the leading partner in the consortium managing the Shah Deniz gas field, confirmed this on 11 January.
BP Azerbaijan reported that production and export activities from the Shah Deniz Alfa (SDA) platform were temporarily halted due to operational reasons, and the platform has been safely shut down. All personnel on the platform are safe, and there has been no environmental impact. The platform, associated offshore facilities, and the pipeline are secure, with efforts underway to resolve the issue and restore normal operations promptly.
