Besides wholesale and retail activities, SOCAR Energy Georgia’s responsibilities also include the construction and operation of petrol stations, supply and transport from oil product terminals, and import operations. In an effort to carry out these operations, subsidiaries such as SOCAR Georgia Gas, SOCAR Georgia Petroleum and SOCAR Georgia Security, which are fully owned by SOCAR Energy Georgia, were established.

The level of gasification in Georgia was 46% in 2008; however, thanks to the joint activities of SOCAR Georgia Gas and the Georgian Government, it is expected to exceed 90% by the end of 2026. As a result, the number of subscribers increased from 71,000 in 2009 to 955,000 as of the 1st September, 2026. Between 2007 and 2026, the company laid over 14,000 km of new gas distribution pipelines.

As part of these aid actions, the company provided assistance with the basic needs and food products to more than 7,000 families with low social security in need of assistance throughout Georgia.

SOCAR Georgia Gas
SOCAR Georgia Gas was established in 2007 as a subsidiary of SOCAR Energy Georgia for the import, retail and wholesale and distribution of natural gas in the Georgian market, as well as the construction and refurbishment of gas pipelines.
As a result of the large-scale investment program implemented by SOCAR Georgia Gas, over 14,000km of gas pipelines has been constructed. The company currently operates a total of 31,200 km of gas pipelines spanning 1,894 settlements and reaching more than 955,000 householders and commercial entities across the country. Thanks to the state program of connecting settlements to main gas pipeline implemented by the Georgian government, in which SOCAR Georgia Gas is closely involved, the level of connection in the country is expected to exceed 90% by the end of 2026. In addition to the construction and commissioning of new gas pipelines in recent years, SOCAR Georgia Gas has also purchased existing gas networks in some regions of the country. For example, in 2018, Telavi Gas LLC, a gas supplier in the Telavi region, one of the largest socio-economic centers of Georgia, was purchased and the natural gas infrastructure was reconstructed in accordance with modern standards. Within the framework of the state program on connecting the Republic of Georgia to main gas pipeline, more than 6,021 km of gas networks built by the government in 428 settlements of the country in 2020-2026 were put into operation by the company. As a result of these measures, in 2020-2026, more than 92,000 customers were supplied with natural gas in the Imereti, Mtskheta-Mtianeti, Guria, Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti, Shida Kartli, Kvemo Kartli and Kakheti regions of Georgia. Thus, SOCAR Georgia Gas more than doubled the total natural gas supply in Georgia in 2009-2026, from 1.2 billion cubic meters to 3.1 billion cubic meters.
Driven by high quality, SOCAR Georgia Gas provides continuous, high-touch customer care around the clock. The company’s 24/7 dispatch service utilizes advanced technologies, including GIS mapping to ensure rapid emergency response and real-time network monitoring.
In 2017, SOCAR Georgia Gas implemented its "Virtual Pipeline " project to supply natural gas to Sairme, a non-gasified area. Instead of traditional pipelines, gas is transported via specialized tankers to on-site storage reservoirs, from which it is seamlessly distributed to end users.
