The Agreement on the TurkStream project between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Turkish Republic was signed today in Istanbul, where the 23rd World Energy Congress is underway.<\/span><\/p>\n

The document provides for the construction of two strings of the gas pipeline from Russia to Turkey across the Black Sea, as well as an onshore string for gas transit to Turkey’s border with neighboring countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe document signed today is extremely important as it sets out the legal framework for the TurkStream project. The Agreement has been prepared in an unprecedentedly short period of time, which shows the strong commitment of both sides to deliver the project as soon as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is entirely understandable because the TurkStream gas pipeline will substantially enhance the reliability of gas supply to Turkey, as well as southern and southeastern Europe,\u201d said Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee.<\/span><\/p>\n

Background<\/span><\/h3>\n

On\u00a0December 1, 2014, Gazprom and Turkey’s Botas signed the Memorandum of\u00a0Understanding to\u00a0construct the TurkStream gas pipeline. The pipeline will run 660 kilometers along the old route of\u00a0South Stream and cover 250 kilometers of\u00a0a\u00a0new route toward the European part of\u00a0Turkey. It\u00a0is\u00a0planned that the first string with the capacity of\u00a015.75 billion cubic meters will be\u00a0used exclusively for gas supplies to\u00a0the Turkish market.<\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0September 2016, Gazprom received a\u00a0number of\u00a0permits for the project from the Turkish authorities, including the first construction permit for the offshore section and the survey permit for the two strings of\u00a0the offshore gas pipeline in\u00a0Turkey’s exclusive economic zone and territorial waters.<\/span><\/p>\n
