Supply to Europe

From Africa

Mediterranean and Saharan gas pipelines to Europe.

All African routes run from Hassi R'Mel the Algerian hub for natural gas, it supplies gas from the Hassi R'Mel gas field. (The planned Trans-Saharan gas pipeline will connect Nigeria to Hassi R’Mel). Pipelines from Hassi R’Mel:

• Greenstream pipeline, from Libya to Italy, part of the Western Libyan Gas Project.
• Maghreb-Europe Gas Pipeline, from Algeria; Tanger, Morocco; Tarifa, Spain.
• Medgaz, from Algeria to Almeria, Spain.
• Trans-Mediterranean Pipeline, from Algeria via Tunisia to Sicily and thence to mainland Italy.

Planned pipeline for gas transport from Africa:

• GALSI, (planned). From Algeria to Sardinia and further northern Italy.

From Azerbaijan and Middle East

Baku pipelines

Pipelines connect mainly from the Shah Deniz gas field in Azerbaijan. Connections to the Middle East are possible:

• Eastring (proposed), an alternative to the South Stream, via Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia, for transport from the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, and Middle East.
• Southern Gas Corridor, To supply gas also from the Caspian and Middle Eastern regions. Consists of:
  • South Caucasus Pipeline, through Turkey to Erzurum. Runs parallel to the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan oil pipeline.
  • Trans-Anatolian gas pipeline (TANAP) through Turkey, Greece, Albania to Italy. It is connected with Trans Adriatic Pipeline.
  • Trans Adriatic Pipeline, from (Azerbaijan), via Greece, Albania to Italy and further to Western Europe.
• Turkey–Greece pipeline, part of the Interconnector Turkey–Greece–Italy (ITGI)
• Greece-Italy pipeline (proposed), part of the Interconnector Turkey–Greece–Italy (ITGI)
• Qatar-Turkey pipeline (proposed).
• Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline (proposed), eastward extension of Southern Gas Corridor to transport natural gas from Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.
• White Stream, (proposed). Connecting the South Caucasus Pipeline, crossing the Black Sea to Constanta, Romania with further supplies to Central Europe.

A lecture was held at The Institute of World Politics to consider the economic and geopolitics of the rival pipelines and what's at stake for the concerned parties, namely TANAP and South Stream's replacement Turkish Stream.
