Turkey speeds up TANAP’s construction
The work on constructing the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) has been accelerated in Turkey’s Yozgat province, the Yozgat newspaper reported July 26.
Reportedly, the pipe welding work is underway in the province.

Yozgat is one of 20 Turkish provinces through which the TANAP pipeline will go.

TANAP project, worth $9.2 billion, envisages transportation of gas of Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz field from Georgian-Turkish border to the western borders of Turkey. The gas will be delivered to Turkey in 2018, and after completion of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline’s (TAP) construction, the gas will be delivered to Europe in early 2020.

TANAP shareholders are Azerbaijan’s state oil company SOCAR (58 percent), BOTAS (30 percent), and BP (12 percent).
