Core offering

TANAP operates a 1,811 km high-pressure natural gas transmission pipeline system that transports Azerbaijani gas from the Shah Deniz field (via the South Caucasus Pipeline) through Turkey to the Greek border, where it connects to the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) for onward delivery to European markets. The system comprises Phase 0 (1,339 km, 56-inch diameter) and Phase 1 (455 km, 48-inch diameter), plus twin 36-inch offshore pipelines across the Sea of Marmara, with an initial transmission capacity of 16 bcm/year expandable to 31 bcm/year. Revenue is earned via usage-based transmission tariffs charged to gas shippers under long-term capacity agreements.

Product overview

TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline) operates as a single unified physical infrastructure system—the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline—for transmitting Azerbaijani natural gas from the Georgian-Turkish border through Turkey to the Greek border for European delivery. The 1,811 km pipeline system comprises multiple integrated components: Phase 0 (1,339 km, 56-inch diameter from Georgian border to Eskişehir) and Phase 1 (455 km, 48-inch diameter from Eskişehir to Greek border), with the Çanakkale Strait Crossing using twin 36-inch subsea pipelines. Above-ground infrastructure includes 2 compressor stations, 4 metering stations, 49 block valve stations, 11 pigging stations, Main Control Centre (MCC) in Ankara, and Backup Control Centre (BCC) in Eskişehir. The pipeline connects to the Turkish national gas network and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) for European delivery. Ownership is distributed among Southern Gas Corridor CJSC (51%), BOTAŞ (30%), BP (12%), and SOCAR (7%).

Direct peers

• Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP): TAP is the downstream European leg of the Southern Gas Corridor, directly receiving gas from TANAP at the Turkish-Greek border for delivery to Greece, Albania, and Italy. TAP and TANAP are operationally interconnected with aligned shareholder structure (BP, SOCAR, SGC).
• South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP/SCPX): SCP is the upstream sister pipeline feeding TANAP, transporting Shah Deniz gas from Azerbaijan through Georgia to the Turkish border. Operated by BP, SCPX expansion matches TANAP's capacity envelope, making it the most directly comparable midstream peer.
• BOTAŞ: BOTAŞ is Turkey's state pipeline company operating the national gas transmission grid and holding a 30% stake in TANAP. It manages Turkey's domestic gas distribution network and serves as both a shareholder and operational counterpart.
• TurkStream: TurkStream is a competing Russia-to-Turkey gas pipeline operating in parallel transit geography. It serves similar Turkish and European gas markets with comparable large-diameter subsea engineering, providing direct competitive pressure on Turkish offtake volumes.
• Medgaz: Medgaz operates the Algeria-Spain subsea gas pipeline, a comparable cross-border, large-diameter gas transmission infrastructure serving European markets. Similar in scale, technical profile, and role in supply diversification away from traditional sources.

Broad incumbents

• Türkiye Petrolleri / SOCAR Türkiye: SOCAR is the Azerbaijani state oil company and primary gas supplier through Shah Deniz. It is a 7% TANAP shareholder through SOCAR Caspian Holding, providing upstream supply integration and strategic alignment with the Southern Gas Corridor.
• Snam: Snam is Italy's major gas transmission system operator and a TAP shareholder. It operates one of Europe's largest regulated pipeline networks and represents the downstream offtake infrastructure for TANAP-sourced gas arriving via TAP.
• Gassco: Gassco operates Norway's offshore gas pipeline system and is a major European gas infrastructure operator. Comparable as a long-distance cross-border transmission specialist with hub-based operations.
• Fluxys: Fluxys operates Belgium's natural gas transmission and storage infrastructure, with significant cross-border pipeline assets including the Interconnector UK. Comparable as a European midstream infrastructure operator with long-haul transmission exposure.
• Enagás: Enagás is Spain's natural gas system technical manager and transmission operator. Comparable as a regulated midstream operator with cross-border pipeline assets (Medgaz interconnection) and a strategic role in European gas security.
