BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 15. The Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum South Caucasus pipeline transported 17.1 billion cubic meters of gas from January through September of this year.
The data obtained by Trend from the State Statistics Committee shows that
this metric experienced an augmentation of 332.8 million cubic
meters, reflecting a two percent increase relative to the
corresponding timeframe of the previous fiscal year.
Throughout the designated reporting interval, principal gas
conduits facilitated the transmission of 29.8 billion cubic meters
of gas, signifying a year-over-year augmentation of 0.9
percent.
As much as 57.5 percent of gas transportation accounted for the
Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum South Caucasus pipeline.
The Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum pipeline, formally designated as the South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP), functions as a strategic transmission line for natural gas, facilitating the flow of hydrocarbons from the Shah Deniz gas reservoir in Azerbaijan, traversing the Georgian territory, and culminating in Türkiye. It was constructed within a comparable alignment to the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan hydrocarbon conduit to optimize ecological footprint and financial expenditure.
The conduit’s function is to facilitate the transmission of natural gas to the regions of Georgia and Türkiye, operating as a pivotal component of the Southern Gas Corridor that channels Caspian hydrocarbons to the European market.
