The Baku-Supsa pipeline was temporarily opened for the transportation of oil by the state-owned company SOCAR of Azerbaijan, when the loading of oil delivered by the main Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline at the Ceyhan terminal was suspended after the February 6 earthquake in Turkey.
SOCAR oil was loaded in two tankers through the Baku-Supsa pipeline. However, after that no application was submitted to bp.
"If we do not receive applications for May oil supply by the end of March, it means that oil will pass through the Baku-Supsa pipeline neither in April nor in May," the company said.
At the same time, bp explains that the renewed operation of the Baku-Supsa pipeline is also hindered by the war in Ukraine, which is why since February 24 of last year carriers do not want to send their tankers to the Black Sea.
The Baku-Supsa pipeline is designed for the transportation of oil from the Azeri–Chirag–Gunashli fields to the Georgian coast of the Black Sea, to the Supsa Port, after which the cargo is sent by tankers to European customers. Pipeline exports have been suspended since May 2022 due to a lack of applications from oil shipping groups. 
The length of the oil pipeline is 837 kilometers. Its capacity exceeds 7 million tons of oil per year, which is 145,000 barrels per day.
