TotalEnergies expects first gas from the expansion of its Absheron gas and condensate field in Azerbaijan to flow in September 2029, the French supermajor said in an environmental impact assessment of the project’s expansion to phase two.
The Absheron Full Field Development Project envisages that the field, which started producing gas in 2023, add three subsea wells and a 143-km-long (89 miles), multiphase production pipeline delivering raw well fluids to an onshore Central Processing Facility (CPF) just southwest of the BP Sangachal Terminal.
The gas and liquid phases will be separated at the Central Processing Facility (CPF), with the gas conditioned to meet the entry specifications of the South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP). The CPF will be designed for an export capacity of 450 MMscfd of gas and 38,000 barrels per day of unstabilized condensate, exported to the existing BP Sangachal Terminal. The conditioned gas will be exported to both the SCP and the Domestic Gas Network (DGN), per TotalEnergies’ plan.
“According to the Project schedule, upon completion of onshore and offshore construction and commissioning activities, the First Gas is expected on 1st of September 2029,” the company said.

Natural gas from Azerbaijan could become even more precious to the global markets, which are currently reeling from Qatar’s decision to shut in production at the world’s biggest LNG complex at Ras Laffan amid the war in the Middle East and the de facto blockage of the Strait of Hormuz.
Last year, Azerbaijan, a key natural gas supplier to Europe, raised its production by 2.4% in 2025 from the previous year.
The giant Shah Deniz field produced 27.9 bcm, the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) fields contributed 14.1 bcm to Azeri gas output last year, the Absheron field yielded 1.6 bcm, while Azerbaijan’s state energy firm SOCAR accounted for 7.9 bcm of total gas production, the Azeri Ministry of Energy said early this year.
