Oil prices fall reduces cost of Azerbaijani energy projects
Oil prices fall has reduced the cost of energy projects implemented by Azerbaijan, the country`s Minister of Energy Natig Aliyev told reporters June 2.
He said that the crisis caused by the fall in oil prices has played a positive role for Azerbaijan to some extent.

"The decline in oil prices has led to a decrease in the cost of our projects," Aliyev said. "For example, the cost of the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) project, which was previously estimated at $11 billion, now stands at $9.3 billion."

"The implementation of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) project stands at $6 billion, the second phase of the project development of the Azerbaijani Shah Deniz gas field - $23.8 billion, the South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion Project - $4.9 billion," he added.
