The TabrizâAnkara pipeline is a 2,577-kilometre (1,601 mi) long natural gas pipeline, which runs from Tabriz in north-west Iran to Ankara in Turkey.
History
The construction of pipeline started in 1996 after signing a gas deal between Turkish and Iranian governments. The gas deal was signed on 30 August 1996. The pipeline was commissioned in July 2001.
The Iran-Turkey pipeline has allegedly been blown up several times by PKK fighters. [1] In January 2008 gas supplies were stopped because of cut-off gas supplies from Turkmenistan. [2] The supply was cut off again in February 2008 because of bad weather conditions. [3]
Technical features
The Turkish section, operated by BOTAĆ, cost US$600 million. The pipeline capacity is 14 bcm per year: [4] Turkish normally imports about 11 billion cubic meters of gas a year through the pipeline. [2] Just before Ankara it is linked to Blue Stream. [5]
Contracts
Negotiations are in progress to renew the current 25 year contract, [6] for nearly 10 bcm per year, [7] which expires end-2025 according to the Middle East Economic Survey [8] (or end-July 2026 according to the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies [9]: 22 ).
