Baku: First gas from Azerbaijan to the EU via Turkey will go in 2020 year

39
Vice-President of the Azerbaijani company SOCAR V. Beglyarbekov said in an interview with the media that Europe will receive the first gas from Azerbaijan along the so-called Southern Gas Corridor in 2020. YuGK provides for gas supplies from the Azerbaijani Shah-Deniz field through Turkey to the countries of the European Union. The total cost of the SGC project is estimated at approximately 40 billion dollars.

SOCAR stated that certain difficulties arise in the extension of the SGC to the Trans Adriatic Pipeline TAP. It is noted that the difficulties associated with the Italian protests against the implementation of this project.



Baku: First gas from Azerbaijan to the EU via Turkey will go in 2020 year


To date, the planned structure of the Southern Gas Corridor includes four main branches. The first: from the field to the resource base of the project, the second: the South Caucasus gas pipeline (Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum), the third: the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline (TANAP) and the fourth: the mentioned TAP.

In Brussels, they previously announced support for the construction of a gas pipeline to southern Europe from Azerbaijan through Georgia and Turkey, noting that it will become an important element in diversifying supplies.

It is known that the SGC to Europe will go to 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year. About 6 billion cubic meters of "blue fuel" will buy Turkey. For comparison: the planned capacity of the two branches of the Turkish Stream is over 31 billion cubic meters per year.

    In fact, the political construction to put pressure on Russia, and is trying to manipulate gas prices in the world! Only here the total volume of supplied gas is extremely small in order for us to dictate the conditions.

      And who will sell large diameter pipes to Azerbaijan? And who will deliver the engines to the compressor stations? Only a few countries are capable of this. I think we definitely won’t sell them why we should help our competitors.

        But who told you this. Money doesn’t smell .. By the way, I would suggest they support banderlogs and direct gas through Ukraine. Here in Baku they will be surprised when gas starts to be spit

        This is not a question of equipment in my opinion, but of financing. 40 billion at SGC, with a capacity of 10 billion cubic meters of gas. North Pot.-2 will cost 8 billion euros (as of 2016) with 55 billion cubic meters.

        All will sell.
        our pipes, which have already been purchased for SP-2 and were purchased for UP - are not of Russian production at all.

        Compressor stations that are outside the former Soviet Union are not Russian-made at all ...

        Europe will sell pipes and equipment for compressor stations, and grandmas will be cut down not frail.
        Europeans have been rushing about with this gas pipeline for a long time, as with a "written shell". The Israelis haven’t said everything yet, with their “leviathan”, and the two lines of the “Turkish stream” are a serious argument in the market, there is no way to bring LNG. So about this "corridor" the grandmother even said in two. hi

      Read articles of this type less.
      The capacity will be 16 billion at the initial stage.
      6 billion Turkey
      2bn Balkans
      8 billion Italy.
      Then the project will reach a capacity of 23 billion, and then 31.
      Azerbaijan will be able to issue 23 billion at its peak.
      But further expansion rests on Iran and Europe itself, if Iran wants it and Europe allows it, it will easily connect to the pipe.
      There is still a factor in Turkmenistan. But the fact is that Azerbaijan pays a little more than half of the project and, in fact, builds it. Turkmenistan wants a pipe through the Caspian Sea, but there is no finance. If Azerbaijan is ready to spend money with TANAP, then it is not ready for Turkmen gas to spend money, but Europe does not want.
      The Balkans will win, especially Bulgaria and Greece. Bulgaria consumes 3 billion gas and most of it from Gazprom. And Azerbaijan will buy 1 billion. And this will allow the Bulgarians to greatly diversify supplies.
      And Azerbaijan has good terms of the contract, they are tied to oil and long-term, which Europe so does not want with Russia.

      In my house in the village there is a combined boiler TEN + firewood / coal ... Gas is not needed for nothing because the gas itself is expensive. It burns badly and has a strong smell. We use units of AGV. The house is in a village 100km from Moscow.

        Ascetic, your problems with the boiler - leaks and poor atomization on the burner, can clog up any small rubbish from the pipes, maybe the filter mesh is clogged - due to which there is low pressure. Gas is transported via one gas transmission system, and not from a local village well. We have the same gas, it burns beautifully and leaves no smell.
