Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz gas deposit restarts production after repairs

Production at the field was halted on August 3 for "planned maintenance".

The South Caucasus Pipeline, also known as Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum, which exports the fuel to Georgia and Turkey, was blown up in eastern Turkey the following day. The Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) terrorist group claimed responsibility for the blast.

Shah Deniz is planned to produce 9.8 billion cubic meters of gas and 2.1 million tons of condensate this year, according to Socar estimates.
