Data definition
Natural Gas Liquids Production — - Natural Gas Liquids (NGL) Production refers to the total volume of liquid hydrocarbons recovered from natural gas during production and processing within a given year. It is typically measured in thousand barrels per day (kb/d) and includes hydrocarbons that are separated from natural gas streams because they condense into liquids under normal surface conditions. Major components include ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline (pentanes plus). This indicator reflects a country's capability to recover valuable liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas production and is widely used to assess upstream gas processing activity, hydrocarbon resource utilization, and supply of feedstocks for petrochemical, heating, and transportation applications.
The data includes the production of all major natural gas liquids recovered from natural gas processing plants and field separation facilities, including ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline (pentanes plus). It covers NGLs produced from both associated gas (produced alongside crude oil) and non-associated natural gas fields. Production from onshore and offshore operations is included, and the indicator reflects volumes recovered before further refining or fractionation into individual products. The data is compiled using standardized international energy reporting methodologies based on national production statistics and industry sources, enabling consistent comparison of NGL production across countries and over time.
The data excludes dry natural gas (methane) that remains in the gas stream after NGL extraction, as well as crude oil, lease condensate, refined petroleum products, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) produced through refinery processing rather than direct natural gas recovery. It also excludes synthetic liquid fuels derived from coal, biomass, or gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies unless explicitly included in the reporting methodology. The indicator does not measure NGL consumption, reserves, imports, exports, storage, or petrochemical production. Minor differences may occur due to variations in national reporting standards, processing technologies, product classifications, and estimation methodologies across countries.

This indicator reflects a country's capability to recover valuable liquid hydrocarbons from natural gas production and is widely used to assess upstream gas processing activity, hydrocarbon resource utilization, and supply of feedstocks for petrochemical, heating, and transportation applications.
Measured in thousand barrels daily, the dataset reflects NGL volumes recovered during natural gas processing and serves as an important indicator of gas resource utilization, production efficiency, upstream activity, and hydrocarbon sector performance. It enables evaluation of production stability, processing operations, supply patterns, and long-term market developments while supporting analysis of Azerbaijan's natural gas industry.
Azerbaijan maintained a highly stable level of NGL production throughout most of the review period. Production remained unchanged at 1 thousand barrels daily from 2015 through 2022, demonstrating minimal year-to-year variation and consistent processing activity. In 2023, production increased modestly to 2 thousand barrels daily, representing the highest output recorded during the review period. Although production volumes remained comparatively small, the improvement in the final year indicates a slight increase in NGL recovery and reflects continued operational stability within the country's natural gas processing sector.
Overall, the dataset demonstrates a stable NGL production profile with limited fluctuations and modest growth toward the end of the review period. The consistent output reflects reliable natural gas processing operations, efficient resource utilization, and steady upstream performance across Azerbaijan's hydrocarbon industry. The dataset serves as a valuable resource for monitoring NGL production trends, assessing supply patterns, supporting market analysis, forecasting future production, evaluating upstream developments, and enabling policymakers, researchers, investors, and industry stakeholders to make informed strategic decisions and long-term energy planning.
