Baku told when the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline will be opened

The solemn opening ceremony of the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP), one of the main segments of the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) for the transportation of Azerbaijani gas to Europe, will be held on June 19 in Turkey, reports TASS report of the head of the investment department of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) Vagif Aliyev.

During the meeting last week (April 25), Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan decided to hold the opening ceremony of the June 19 pipeline,

said the head of the department.

He noted that "the project" Southern Gas Corridor "is implemented in accordance with the schedule."

It is very difficult to implement such projects without government support. TANAP was considered as a strategic project and was fully supported by the participating States

added the head of the department.

He said that "TANAP will export 16 billion cubic meters of gas per year from the Shah Deniz field on the Caspian shelf, including 6 billion to Turkey, and 10 billion to Europe."

These volumes can grow to 31 billion cubic meters only due to the construction of additional stations,

said Vagif Aliyev.

He also did not rule out a doubling of supplies from Turkey itself (to 12 billion cubic meters per year).

Help agency: "TANAP pipeline stretches from the Georgian-Turkish border to the western border of Turkey, where from the perspective it will connect to the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), which is also one of the segments of the Southern Gas Corridor." The start of gas supplies to Europe along this corridor, originating in Azerbaijan and passing through the territory of Georgia, Turkey, Greece, Albania and Italy, is scheduled for 2020 year. The cost of SGC exceeds $ 40 billion. "

You're right, let them understand their “Wishlist” themselves and who will be their neighbor, partner and competitor. With the introduction of Turkish and South European flows, the queue for Russian gas will only increase. But the "nezalezka" is in deep opera.

Let me correct, it’s obvious that the budget of Baku should be kept in mind by definition;

Well, keep it up.
In any case, this pipe is not a threat to Russia's gas interests, in any case in the form in which it is described in this article.
The rest is rhetoric.

How to say? In terms of volume and marketing, it is possible, however!, In the prospect of an alternative to the northern route that Russia is actively promoting. It is not for nothing that he is a protege in the person of the CE, the United States, and the Anglo-Soviet Union. And in the future, this can go to competition if you pedal the Theme.

[Yeraz]

Quote: Vladimir Ter-Odiyants

in the prospect of an alternative to the northern route that Russia is actively promoting

in what perspective ?? Contracts are concluded, the volume of the pipe is known, the deposits are known. The maximum if the Turkmens connect, build a pipe from under the Caspian and expand the already constructed pipe.

And even in this case, it is not a competitor to the Northern Route. Since these gases are intended for different consumers.
Azerbaijani gas will go to the Balkans and Italy and will be ALTERNATIVE to the Turkish stream, since such volumes are called RIVAL, the language does not turn.

[Lekxnumx]

The gas is produced by the British, Tony Bleer is the curator of this project. In Italy, problems with environmentalists, Gazprom writes in our media that finances the protests. Several companies, including a subsidiary of Lukoil, get it. But the pipeline finances Socar, Germany allocated more than a billion loans from European and Asian banks.

Gazprom will embed its South Stream into TANAP and gain access to Greece, Italy, etc. He has already finished the marine part.
Turkey will be provided with cheap energy "to the eyeballs."

Competitors however ... And in terms of volume?

There can be no competition, let's speak in the language of numbers:
1) Maximum volume for TANAP + TAP up to 31 billion cubic meters m. gas per year, of which 12 billion cubic meters m for Turkey and up 20 billion cubic meters m for the countries of southern Europe.
2) The needs of all of Europe 400 billion cubic meters m per year, increasing to 600 billion to 2035 year.
3) Europe for itself, after reducing its production, will mine 200 billion cubic meters m. gas per year, accordingly, the deficit is 200 billion cubic meters m
4) Gazprom delivered to Europe in 2017 165 billion cubic meters m
5) The Eastern Mediterranean (Israel, Cyprus and Egypt), according to the most favorable estimates of experts, will be able to export for about 5 years - about 27 billion cubic meters m / year.
6) The needs of Europe in 5 years 450 billion cubic meters m The output is:
200Europe itself + 165Gazprom + 20TANAP + 27 Mediterranean = 412 billion cubic meters m / year.
Europe will miss about 40 billion cubic meters m / year. and if we take into account that there will be no Mediterranean gas by this time, then the deficit for Europe will be about 70 billion cubic meters m / year. Where to get them? It is known where! 2 Nord Stream - 55 billion cubic meters m / year.+ Turkish stream one branch for Europe - 16 billion cubic meters m / year. Therefore, based on the needs of Europe, by the 2035 year, the Nord Stream 3 will be needed, as already mentioned in our press. Somehow like this....

Stop writing nonsense that is not a competitor. Competitor and what! You think badly. All on the assumptions. And I suppose that such a demand for gas in Europe will not be in connection with the development of nuclear energy, etc. As a result, these pipes will bring down the gas price.

[Lord of the Sith]

How interesting they are Bulgaria and Greece on the maps called.

These are the Turkish inscriptions Bulgaria, Yunanistan and according to az-ski there will be Bulgaria, Yunanystan the letter "s" instead of "and". The same with the name of the capital in Russian Baku, Turkish Baku and in the Azian Baki.

Because of Qatar, in the first place, this is essno. But Azerbaijan also wants to grab a brat. The question is, is there enough? There is not sour. It’s just that at the moment there is no point in extracting and there is nowhere to give for export.

[sa-ag]

Quote: impostor

Syria is then sitting more likely because of Qatar

Nah, initially there was an idea through the Kurds to organize pressure on Turkey and push four threads of the Turkish stream, it did not grow together, two threads were closed, one was written with a pitchfork on the water, one could be used for domestic consumption in Turkey. In general, the "Syrian seats" for all participants has one goal - the European gas market, the participants - Qatar. Iran, RF, USA. Some time ago, the press "suddenly" found out that Qatar was an accomplice to terrorists, six Arab states immediately disowned him, etc. they will strangle the remaining supply routes, Israel and the Arab coalition will participate, with the air support of the US coalition, then there will be bargaining between the USA and the Russian Federation

Everything would be very scary, if not for the volumes ... What is 10 mlr cubes for Europe. Which has a market of 450! This is more a PR move than a real impact on Russia's plans. It is clear that Azerbaijan simply does not have any more!

[dgonni]

The long road begins with a small step! Ancient wisdom! Having bitten off 2,2% of the market and capable of dumping, it will lower the cost on the general market of energy resources and possibly then will bite off all 15-20%. Nothing personal just business!

the locals do not count on anything. But they will not mind. They are not going to invest a single dollar and take it for a long time under this investment.
Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan want diversification, even if they agree with the Europeans and build infrastructure under the Caspian, by the way, it will be necessary to work with the discontent of the Russian Federation.
And Azerbaijan is always ready to provide its infrastructure.

And you did not think that this is a project that should bring money to the Budget of Azerbaijan. And not some kind of PR move or rivalry with the Russian Federation.
Moreover, there is an agreement with Gazprom on the purchase of Russian gas for the Azmeco methanol plant. The volume is up to 2 billion cubic meters.

[fa2998]

Turkey has collected all the buns! They are pulling from Russia, they are pulling from Azerbaijan. Alternative supply, the opportunity to increase imports, money for transit. It is possible to build a gas hub, you can even sell gas.

Because Armenia is a bankrupt country, the Armenian Autonomous Region will appear in Russia in the future, as everyone will flee Armenia.

[UAZ 452]

According to the rules of the third energy package, access to gas pipelines in the EU should be provided to any gas seller. It is urgent through a court to achieve the reservation of 50% of the throughput capacity of this pipe for our gas. Then it makes no sense to pull the South Stream beyond the Turkish-Greek (or Turkish-Greek?) Border.

Judging by the comments, all that is being built without Russia is against Russia. Nonsense. And then you complain that the Union republics are turning away from Russia. In the same way, we can say that the Nord Stream is against Azerbaijan ....

[Anchonsha]

Well, you can hope for TANAP, if from somewhere else they take gas. Azerbaijan will have nowhere to take it to add to its volume.

[Zomanus]

Apparently they’ll connect to the hub through which our Turkish Stream will go.
This is how Turkey will grab Europe for coconuts ...

[EnGenius]

$ 40 billion for 10 billion cubic meters of gas transit to Europe ?! It is not surprising that Turkey’s stretched pipe from Russia directly to Istanbul is much more profitable. I believe that without the Iranian gas this pipeline will never be completed, and in the long term up to 8 years and taking into account the USA’s potential, it can be predicted that Europe will not wait for Iranian gas at all.

[Yeraz]

$ 40 billion for 10 billion cubic meters of gas transit to Europe ?!

No, this is for 16 billion. Since there are 3 Pipes. This is an extension of the existing Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum pipeline, the construction of TANAPA, and what the article says is worth $ 9 billion and the final TAP is the construction of a pipe to Greece, Italy, Albania and Bulgaria.
Here is the third pipe will be ready only by 2020.

Quote: engenius

I believe that without Iranian gas this pipeline will never be completed

As the extension says, the TANAP has been built and will be commissioned in the summer, while the TAP is already under construction and will be commissioned by 2020. And contracts with gas buyers have already been signed for decades to come.

Quote: engenius

taking into account the potential of the United States, it can be predicted that Europe will not wait for Iranian gas at all.

Well, today’s politics is one, tomorrow is different. Literally yesterday they discussed about the war in Korea, but today they already go by the pens and Kim allowed the IAEA specialists to nuclear facilities.
The infrastructure is completely ready with the ability to quickly expand the pipeline 3 times, Iran just needs to connect from Azerbaijan and that’s it.
But gas production in Europe is declining and the need for additional gas is a matter of time.

By the way, do not forget about the Gazprom factor. Azerbaijan buys 1.6bn of gas from Gazprom for its largest methanol plant, even the only one in Central Asia and the South Caucasus.
In the future, when increasing exports and obtaining permission from the EC, Gazprom may use this pipe, but the EC will not let it go there.

Turkmens want diversification. Everyone needs it. Moreover, access to the European market is also a good bonus. But in fact, it is forced to supply only one country with gas, which holds it for eggs.
