Following the determination of the Black Sea<br />

hydrocarbon potential, it will be transport<br />

through our country to the markets in safe<br />

way on time.<br />

29<br />

In this regard, our Corporate is taking its<br />

own part in meeting the natural gas and oil<br />

demand of our country and we also continue<br />

our activities of increasing our efficiency and<br />

control through the east-west energy corridor.<br />

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.
