The company said in a statement that Southern Gas Corridor owns an integrated pipeline network extending around 3,500 kilometers, transporting natural gas supplies from the Azerbaijani sector in the Caspian Sea through Georgia and Turkey to Southern Europe, with a transmission capacity reaching 26 billion cubic meters annually. The company indicated that Southern Gas Corridor's assets include stakes in the Shah Deniz gas and condensate field, the South Caucasus Pipeline, the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline, and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, in addition to shares in Azerbaijan Gas Supply Co. The company added that the transaction expands XRG's cooperation scope with Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR across the gas value chain. It is part of the company’s strategy to build an integrated gas platform in the Caspian region, combining gas resources and export infrastructure with access to regional and European markets. In Azerbaijan, XRG holds a 30% stake in the Absheron gas and condensate field and is exploring future growth opportunities leveraging existing export infrastructure. In Turkmenistan, XRG owns a 38% interestin the offshore Area 1 gas and condensate block, currently producing about 400 million cubic feet of natural gas per day and providing access to resources exceeding 7 trillion cubic feet of gas. In November 2025, XRG signed a non-binding term sheet with Azerbaijan's Ministry of Economy to acquire a stake in Southern Gas Corridor.
