Crude oil and condensate production in Azerbaijan fell to 23.535 million tonnes in January-July from 24.098 million tonnes in the same period last year, a source at the State Statistics Committee said, driven by declines at fields operated by BP.
Falling output at the main Azeri, Chirag and Guneshli (ACG) oilfields had previously raised concerns in Baku.
BP said earlier this year that oil production at ACG in 2014 might be slightly lower than in 2013 as the company planned maintenance work at the Central Azeri and West Azeri platforms, halting operations for a couple of weeks.
