In Azerbaijan, one of the two main platforms at the largest natural gas field, Shah Deniz, has been closed since Friday due to a technical issue, according to BP. There has been no comment on when production and exports are expected to resume. The affected platform, Alpha, provides about 40% of production at the Shah Deniz field, which overall produced 25.3 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the first eleven months of last year. During the same period, Azerbaijan exported 11.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Europe.
