Samsun-Ceyhan pipeline should be one of the top priorities of this country. Connection on the North South Axle is critical to the country's energy security. Unfortunately, this project was stopped for "some" reasons.

BTW, let's look at the total installed electrical power projections from early 2000s

(Of course, Mersin and Sinop facilities remained behind this planning.)

Samsun- Ceyhan could be revived to decrease transports through Turkish straits, it would spare a lot of time for the tankers and minimize possible accidents.

It was expected that this project will decrease traffic in the straits by 50%.

Sea crossing of Trans Adriatic Natural Gas Pipeline completed


The 105-km sea crossing of the Trans Adriatic Natural Gas Pipeline (TAP), which will carry natural gas from Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz 2 site to Europe, has been completed.

According to the statement made by TAP, the project started in January to connect the coasts of Italy and Albania.

Approximately 9 thousand pipes were laid at a depth reaching 810 meters in the sea connection passing under the Adriatic Sea. TAP's contractor firm Saipem laid an average of 1.2 kilometers of pipes per day.

Thus, a 105-kilometer sea pass of TAP, which is 878 kilometers long, was completed and a new threshold was skipped in the project. Thus, while 95 percent of the project is completed, it is planned to provide the first gas flow in Europe from the pipeline at the end of the year.

Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz 2 field to move the extracted gas to Europe TAP, the Turkey-Greece border on the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) is connected.

TAP, which forms the European leg of the Southern Gas Corridor, will pass 10 billion cubic meters of gas annually to Italy, passing through Greece, Albania and the Adriatic Sea.

While BP, SOCAR and Snam hold 20 percent of TAP shares, Fluxys owns 19 percent, Enagas 16 percent and Axpo 5 percent.

Russia's 'take or pay' gas deal ends in 2023, and Iran's deal ends in 2026.

In the coming years, Iraq, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan's natural gas shares will increase significantly while Algeria and Qatar will play bigger role in the LNG market .
