Name and Location
TurkStream project, Russia and Turkey.
Client
Gazprom.
Project Description
TurkStream will start on the Russian coast near the town of Anapa and run more than 900 km through the Black Sea to come ashore in the Thrace region of Turkey. The project will have a yearly capacity of 63-billion cubic metres.
It will be the first 32”-sized system to be laid at depths of more than 2 km.
TurkStream will directly connect the large gas reserves in Russia to the Turkish gas transportation network to provide reliable energy supplies for Turkey and south-east Europe.
The offshore pipeline will consist of four parallel pipelines running through the Black Sea. They will enter the water near Anapa, on the Russian coast, and come ashore on the Turkish coast about 100 km west of Istanbul, near the village of Kiyikoy.
From Kiyikoy, an underground pipeline will be developed connecting TurkStream to the existing network at Luleburgaz.
Value
The project is estimated at €13.6-billion.
Duration
First gas is expected to flow through the line in 2019.
