據AzerNews網站2019年7月18日巴庫報道，阿塞拜疆Trend通訊社援引格魯吉亞政府的話報道說，阿塞拜疆國家石油公司（阿國油/SOCAR）旗下的格魯吉亞分公司SOCAR格魯吉亞天然氣公司日前增加了其在鄰國的天然氣管道網絡的長度。

此外，SOCAR格魯吉亞天然氣公司還收購了708.5公里的管道。這筆交易的費用達到了 2420萬拉里(約850萬美元)。這筆錢必須在18年內付清。

報道說，SOCAR格魯吉亞天然氣公司在格魯吉亞擁有的天然氣管道網絡覆蓋了格魯吉亞20多個城市。

今年1月，作為在格魯吉亞實施的天然氣分銷項目的一部分，SOCAR格魯吉亞天然氣公司收購了Telavgas LLC，后者在格魯吉亞的Telavi地區從事天然氣分銷業務。

去年夏天，SOCAR格魯吉亞天然氣公司以2130萬拉里(按當時匯率計算為950萬美元)的直接購銷形式，收購了格魯吉亞多個地區的天然氣管道，管道總長594公里。

目前，SOCAR是格魯吉亞天然氣、石油和石油產品的主要供應商。SOCAR的子公司致力于該國天然氣分銷系統的擴張和現代化，以SOCAR的品牌開發加油站，并在格魯吉亞的黑海港口Kulevi擁有一個石油終端，向世界市場供應阿塞拜疆的石油和石油產品。
