In 2020, SOCAR PETROLEUM also became present on the road bitumen trade market. The first step in this endeavor was the securing of procurement and logistics contracts, with SOCAR becoming one of the main players on the road bitumen sales market in 2021.
In 2021, SOCAR managed to enter the bitumen market in Bulgaria. The bitumen procured by sea in Bulgaria is produced by SOCAR, originating in Azerbaijan.
SOCAR’s strengths in road bitumen marketing are flexibility, availability and customer orientation.
