Saudi Taqa develops Caspian fields with Socar
Energy Manufacturing and Services Company "Taqa," a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, plans to expand its activities in the Caspian Sea region by signing a memorandum of understanding with Azerbaijan's state oil company "Socar" and other firms to provide oil and gas field development services in Azerbaijan. This move is part of the company's strategy to broaden its international presence, especially in markets that hold significant reserves and offer opportunities for developing new fields, with a focus on the Caspian Sea area, which is considered one of the key growth regions in the energy sector. Azerbaijan, one of the prominent energy producers and exporters in the region, has an estimated oil reserve of around 7 billion barrels and over 2.5 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. It serves as a major corridor for transporting oil and gas to European markets via pipelines such as the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan line. The agreement brings together "Taqa" and "Socar" to establish a strong presence in a market that sees competition from major global companies like Schlumberger and Baker Hughes. The initiative aims to pave the way for further expansion into Central Asia and the Caspian region, enhancing the strategy of geographic diversification and supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to increase the competitiveness of national oil companies.
