But in order to achieve this, $40 billion will have to be invested, a very large sum given current crude oil prices, which could put a strain on the profitability of the operation. An agreement was signed to this end on September 14, 2017, between Baku and the consortium of companies led by BP, which currently exploits ACG. The role of operator is still assigned to BP. The share of the Azeri state-owned company Socar, which currently stands at 11.65%, is going to rise to 25%. The shares of the other companies will be lowered on a pro-rata basis (see table). Foreign firms are going to pay the Azeri State a bonus of $3.6 billion in eight annuities. 26 սեպտեմբեր, 2017 22:33 Byurakan Observatory: Armenia’s Shining Star in the Sciences | Բյուրականի աստղադիտարանում Located on the picturesque slope of Mount Aragats, Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory is Armenia’s shining star in the sciences.
