The ACG oil fields are located in the Caspian Sea, around 100 kilometres east of Baku, the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The ACG oil fields currently produce crude oil at a rate of 5,85,000 barrels per day from three oil fields. Crude oil produced at the ACG oil fields is transported through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline (BTC pipeline) to Ceyhan on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, from where it is shipped to customers.
 
There is substantial amount of remaining oil and gas in the field and extension of agreement will benefit Azerbaijan and partners through sustained long term production.
