Qabil Ashirov read more We should increase our efforts to deliver additional natural gas
from the Caspian Sea to international markets with TANAP, Azernews reports citing Turkish Foreign Minister
Mevlut Cavusoglu telling at the meeting of the foreign ministers of
the Organization of Turkic States in Ankara.
'We jointly implemented large-scale energy projects such as the
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline and TANAP. We must increase our
efforts to deliver natural gas from the Caspian to international
markets with TANAP. The Memorandum of Understanding we signed with
our Azerbaijani and Turkmen brothers is very important in this
regard,' he noted.
With the completion of the TAP construction on December 31,
2020, Azerbaijan began commercial gas supplies to Europe via the
Southern Gas Corridor. The SGC is an initiative of the European
Commission for a natural gas supply route from the Caspian and
Middle Eastern regions to Europe. The route from Azerbaijan to
Europe consists of the South Caucasus Pipeline, TANAP, and TAP.
In 2021, TAP transported 8.1 billion cubic meters of gas to
Europe. In 2023, Azerbaijan plans to increase gas supplies to
Europe to 11 billion cubic meters. As of 2022, Azerbaijan exported
9.3 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe in the first ten months
and was expected to supply 11.5 billion cubic meters of gas to
Europe by the end of 2022.
