Azerbaijan Gas Just Got More Strategic 🇦🇿🔥

SOCAR, TotalEnergies, ADNOC and Turkey’s BOTAS have signed a gas sales agreement for the second phase of the Absheron field, with a final investment decision expected later this year.

Production is slated to begin in 2029 and exceed 4 billion cubic meters annually, with roughly half of the output expected to flow to Turkey.

The deal underscores Azerbaijan’s growing role in regional energy markets, strengthens Turkey’s long-term supply position, provides Europe with additional non-Russian gas volumes, and deepens ADNOC’s international gas footprint.

The broader signal is hard to miss: energy buyers are securing future gas supplies years before the first molecules reach the market.
