TAP transports natural gas from the giant Shah Deniz field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea to Europe. The 878-kilometer-long pipeline connects with the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at the Turkish-Greek border in Kipoi, crosses Greece, Albania, and the Adriatic Sea before coming ashore in southern Italy.
TAP facilitates gas supplies to Southeast European countries through existing and prospective interconnectors. TAP is connected to Interconnector Greece Bulgaria (IGB), which started its commercial operations in October 2022, providing Caspian gas to Bulgaria and enhancing the security of energy supplies in one more European country. TAP’s exits in Greece and Albania, together with the landfall in Italy, provide multiple opportunities for further transport of gas from Azerbaijan to the wider European markets.
