BOTAŞ: Natural gas delivery will halt due to maintenance

Turkey’s state pipeline operator said on Friday that gas flows would halt between Aug. 14 and 28 from the Shah Deniz-Turkey pipeline due to planned maintenance. “Due to planned maintenance works between Aug. 14-28 in Shah Deniz-Turkey pipeline there will not be natural gas delivery to the national network from Türkgözü entry point for 14 gas days,” BOTAŞ said in a statement. BOTAŞ also said it did not expect any supply-demand balance issues in the national transmission network during maintenance. Turkey is receiving gas from the Shah Deniz I in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea via the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum pipeline. Azerbaijani gas is also being delivered to Turkey through the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), which stretches from the Turkish-Georgian border to the Turkish-Greek border. One of the biggest energy projects in the region, TANAP was officially launched in June 2018.         dailysabah.com
