During the visit, she held talks with President Aliyev, Prime Minister Asadov, Minister of Economy Jabbarov, and Minister of Energy Shahbazov, covering areas of cooperation including oil and gas development, solar energy, and electrification. O'Neill also met with Minister of Economy Jabbarov and SOCAR President Rovshan Najaf, and toured the Sangachal Terminal. She described the terminal as "one of the world's largest oil and gas complexes" and a key hub connecting Caspian energy resources to global markets.

Azerbaijan's Minister of Economy, Mikayil Jabbarov, confirmed the visit, stating that the two sides exchanged views on BP's global operations, its long-term cooperation with Azerbaijan, and the energy projects being implemented in the region.
