PROJECT

The TurkStream Pipeline

TurkStream runs over 930 km through the Black Sea and comes ashore in the Thrace region of Türkiye.

TurkStream provides reliable energy to Türkiye, South and Southeast Europe.

The offshore component of the system consists of two parallel lines running through the Black Sea. The pipelines come ashore on the Turkish coast in the Thrace region.

From the receiving terminal in Türkiye, one of the two underground onshore pipelines connects to the existing Turkish gas network at Luleburgaz. The other pipeline continues to the Turkish-Bulgarian border.

Technology

TurkStream is a project that advances the technical boundaries of the industry: TurkStream is the first system using pipes with a diameter of 81 centimeters laid at depths exceeding 2 kilometers.

The two offshore pipelines are made up of thousands of individual pipe joints of 12 meters in length.

Benefits

The TurkStream Project not only ensures the reliability of energy supplies to Türkiye and Europe, but also contributes to Türkiye’s economic development through the resources it has allocated for the construction and operation of the pipeline. In addition, TurkStream supports the development of the Thrace region via local social investments.
