Tanap tender: the gas pipeline to Europe, eventually | beyondbrics:
"Ordinarily the announcement of a pre-qualification tender for the construction of a pipeline wouldn’t rate much coverage outside of specialist news services.
But the publication Tuesday of adverts by the Trans Anatolian Gas Pipeline company (Tanap) requesting applications from companies interested in building its 1,800km gas line is a little different. It represents the beginning of the end of an EU plan hatched over a decade ago to bring gas from the Caspian basin west to European markets in competition to Russian gas.
Back then, the plan was that the EU’s “southern gas corridor” would be realised by the construction of the 3,900km, 31 bcm per year capacity Nabucco pipeline running from eastern Turkey through Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary terminating at Europe’s main gas hub at Baumgarten in Austria and supported by the governments of the five transit countries."
