BAKU, Jan 13 (Reuters) - BP is working to resolve

technical problems at the Shah Deniz Alfa (SDA) platform which

affected Azerbaijan's supply of gas to Bulgaria and hopes to

resume normal operations as soon as possible, the company told

Reuters on Monday.

BP halted operations on the platform on Friday after

detecting a technical issue on the subsea gas condensate export

line between the platform and the Sangachal terminal.

Azerbaijan notified Bulgarian state gas company Bulgargaz

EAD that it had suspended contracted gas supply on Jan. 7.

Bulgargaz expects supply to resume on Jan. 15, the company

told Bulgaria's BTA news agency on Monday.

Bulgargaz has sourced replacement volumes from Turkey's

Botas, it said.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic also said on Friday that

gas flows from Azerbaijan to Serbia were halted and that it was

unclear when they would resume.

On Sunday however, Vucic said that Baku had informed him

that gas supplies will not be halted for Serbia.
