A Memorandum of Understanding was signed<br />
on 26 December 2011 between Azerbaijan<br />
and Turkey for TANAP (Trans Anatolia<br />
Pipeline) to transport the Azeri gas through<br />
Turkey to Europe. BOTAŞ and <strong>TPAO</strong> are<br />
partners in this project, and after realizing it, it<br />
will be the second biggest pipeline project on<br />
Anatolia after BTC pipeline.<br />
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Main Export<br />
Crude Oil Pipeline (BTC) Project<br />
Within the scope of the Project, an<br />
approximately 1,768 km long pipeline, with<br />
a nominal capacity of 50 million tons/year,<br />
starting from Sangachal Terminal close to<br />
Baku-Azerbaijan passing by Tbilisi-Georgia<br />
and reaching to the Mediterranean Sea at<br />
Ceyhan-Turkey, has been constructed and<br />
operating since 3 June 2006. By the end of<br />
year 2011, 1,345 million barrels of crude oil<br />
carried by 1,742 vessels.<br />
Currently, transportation of a large portion of<br />
ACG oil, all of Shah Deniz condensate and<br />
some Kazakh Tengiz and Turkmenian oil is<br />
proceeding and 257 million barrels of oil was<br />
loaded to 355 tankers from Haydar Aliyev<br />
Terminal in 2011.<br />
The transportation of oil produced in Caspian<br />
Region, especially from ACG Project in<br />
Azerbaijan to the world markets, in a safe,<br />
secure, reliable and environmentally friendly<br />
way is continuing through the BTC Project<br />
which is the first step of East-West Energy<br />
Corridor.<br />
South Caucasus Natural Gas Pipeline<br />
(SCP) Project<br />
Within the scope of SCP Project, Shah Deniz<br />
natural gas is being transported to Georgian-<br />
Turkish border. The SCP passing through the<br />
same corridor with BTC is about 690 km in<br />
length.
