As of the end of 2005, the production rate from eight pre-drilled wells at the platform was approximately .〔(Offshore Technology. Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) Oil Field, Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan )〕 The peak of oil production, 835,000 barrels per day, was reached in third quarter of 2010. In the first quarter of 2012 oil production was about 710,000 barrels per day.〔()〕 BP reports that crude oil from ACG is exported through the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline to the Mediterranean Sea and the Baku-Supsa Pipeline to Supsa in Georgia, as well as through the Baku-Novorossiysk Pipeline to Novorossiysk in Russia.
