The BTC pipeline is used to export oil from the Azeri, Chirag and Guneshli oilfields operated by BP . Azerbaijan's total oil exports in January-February 2023 were 6.048 million tonnes, about 76.5% of which flowed through the BTC. The volume of transit oil from other countries such as Kazakhstan through BTC decreased to 626,700 tonnes in Jan-Feb 2023, from 800,900 million tonnes a year earlier.
