BP has signed two new memoranda of understanding (MOUs) in Azerbaijan. The first one was inked with the country’s Ministry of Economy on the high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, and the second with SOCAR to further bolster the two oil and gas players’ long-standing energy partnership.
Meg O’Neill , Chief Executive Officer at BP, commented: “I’m just back from two productive days in Azerbaijan– a country where BP has deep roots and a long-term commitment. This was my first visit to Azerbaijan, and I was impressed – from the deep history to the amazing architecture and impressive infrastructure of the country.
“We were honoured to meet President Aliyev, Prime Minister Asadov, and Ministers Jabbarov and Shahbazov. Our conversations covered the breadth of our partnership – from oil and gas development to solar energy and electrification.”
