The Sangachal Terminal is an industrial complex consisting of a Natural gas processing Plant and Oil production plant, located on the coast of the Caspian Sea convert|45|km|mi south of Baku, Azerbaijan.

The terminal is operated by a BP led consortium and is one of the largest oil and gas facilities in the world.

Construction of the terminal began in 1996 with the Early Oil Project, which foreseen construction of pipelines to Supsa and Novorosyisk. Oil was first exported in October 1997. The terminal has since been expanded to include the ACG Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 Oil Trains and the Shah Deniz gas plant. Facilities at the oil production plant include separators, coalescers, crude oil storage tanks, Export Pumps, gas turbine power generators and a central control room. The three crude oil storage tanks have a capacity of 880,000 barrels each. [ [http://www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=9006674&contentId=7014455 BP Caspian - Overview ] ]
