Can Azerbaijan double gas exports to Europe?
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
In 2022, as Europe raced to wean itself off Russian gas, Azerbaijan signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the EU to double exports to 20 bcma by 2027. Two years on, this ambition is already out of sight. Why? Azerbaijan hasn’t moved quickly enough to grasp the opportunity. Much has changed since the dizzying heights that prices reached in 2022. But the EU is still pushing to diversify its gas supply, and Azerbaijan remains home to vast untapped gas resources. The upstream and midstream expansion required is beset by commercial and market challenges. Can Azerbaijan overcome these obstacles and fulfil its long-term ambition of becoming a gas supplier of choice to the lucrative European market?
