"Twelve countries supplied Israel with crude oil, delivering 171 shipments containing over 17.9 million tonnes during this period (November 1, 2023, to October 1, 2025). The vast majority came from Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, which supplied 70%. Azeri oil is delivered via the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, which terminates in Ceyhan, Turkey, where the crude is loaded onto tankers for export. Thus, Turkey is listed as the country of origin for these shipments. However, all of the crude is identified as ‘Azeri-BTC’," according to a recent report by Oil Change International, a Washington-based research organization advocating for a fossil-free world.
