Trend: Turkey approves two documents on TANAP

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has approved two additional documents on the Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline (TANAP) construction project, the Turkish offical newspaper Resmi Gazete reports Oct. 21 on its website.

The matter rests in the memorandums on the project, signed by the Turkish government and TANAP consortium May 26, 2014.

The TANAP project envisages gas transportation from the Shah Deniz field to Europe via Turkey. The initial capacity is expected to reach 16 billion cubic meters per year.

Around six billion cubic meters will be delivered to Turkey and the rest to Europe. In future the pipeline may be expanded up to 31 billion cubic meters a year.
