As the newspaper notes, this agreement will reduce the supply of Turkmen oil from the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk by almost 50%. Currently, the transit of oil from Turkmenistan through the Russian Federation is about 160 thousand tons per month.

According to forecasts, now this amount will drop to 80 thousand tons per month.
Azerbaijan and Russia have been competing for Turkmen oil for a long time and with the new agreement the competition will enter a new phase, Energy Diary writes.
