The Kulevi Terminal, operated by Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR, has handled a total of 2.2 million tons of crude oil, oil, oil and gas products, and petrochemical products in 2025.

A Final Investment Decision (FID) was approved for the construction of four new tanks, each with a capacity of 20,000 cubic meters, at the newly planned Tank Park No. 7.

"The project’s Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase has been completed, and the tender process for construction has been launched,” SOCAR said.

The company noted that in addition, preliminary technical and operational assessments were carried out for the construction of a new railway overpass and a breakwater.

As for 2026, SOCAR said it is planned to begin construction of a new tank farm at its Kulevi Terminal this year, with completion expected by mid-2027.

“At the same time, plans are to finalize the conceptual design for a new railway overpass and breakwater, and to carry out preliminary feasibility studies for a third ship-loading berth,” the company said.
