The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) produced 7.5 million tons of oil from fields it operates either independently or as a major shareholder.​

In 2024, Azerbaijan produced about 45.8 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas.​

SOCAR produced 7.7 bcm of natural gas from its operated fields.​
