TAP supports the EU’s initiative to enhance Europe’s energy security by connecting to new
sources of natural gas from the Caspian Sea
TAP will be part of a c. 4,000km value chain to open the Southern Gas Corridor
10 bcm/a will be transported through TAP from Shah Deniz II – enough to supply
approximately seven million households in South Eastern and Western Europe
Bringing major foreign direct investment and employment - supporting economic recovery in
the Eurozone
TAP's key features
Aligned with EU’s energy policy objectives

(Stara Zagora). MoU with IGB signed in January 2014.
Existing capacity (Bulgaria-to-Greece direction): 4.3 bcm/y
at a minimum pressure at Sidirokastro MS of 47,74 barg.
Reverse Flow capacity: up to 4.3 bcm/y
Planned Capacity: up to 3 bcm/y (option for capacity
increase to 5 bcm/y)

TAP is in the draft list of PECI, to be approved at
the Ministerial Council in October 2013.
Bulgaria
• Reverse flow on the Kula-Sidirokastro Line
(KS line). Market test performed in early 2013.
• Interconnector Greece Bulgaria (IGB). Market
test performed in mid 2013.
• MoU signed with developers of Interconnector
Greece Bulgaria (IGB) in January 2014
* This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244
and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence

TAP can connect Caspian gas to
multiple European markets
TAP will connect to the Italian natural
gas grid to provide firm capacity at the
Italian virtual trading point (PSV), from
which all Italian gas exit points can be
reached
TAP can reach Austria via TAG
pipeline to have similar transportation
capacity as other planned pipelines, e.g.:
• 6 bcm/a reverse technical capacity
• 25 bcm/a average swap potential
(2011)
TAP can reach Germany and France
via Transitgas pipeline through
Switzerland, e.g.:
• virtual backhaul of approx 10 bcm/a
• planned physical backhaul of 15 bcm/a

Shah Deniz is just the start….
Azerbaijan: a supplier of gas to Europe
• Azerbaijan’s role as a stable supplier of gas
contributing to Europe’s energy security will
continue to grow in the next decades
• Production from gas fields in the Caspian
could increase Azerbaijan’s natural gas
production to c.40 bcm/a by 2030
• The giant Caspian gas and condensate field
Shah Deniz – 1.2 tcm
• SOCAR’s current exploration of the Umid
field and Babek along with Total’s
exploration of Absheron,
• Other fields including ACG Deep,
Nakhchivan, Shafag-Asiman, and ZafarMashal resulting in overall proven reserves
of approximately 2.5tcm
• TANAP IGAs and HGAs signed and ratified
by Azerbaijani and Turkish parliaments
represents a clear export route to the border
with the EU
