43 TURKEY S STRATEGIC POSITION IN ENERGY SECTOR TURKEY IS AN ENERGY CORRIDOR BETWEEN SUPPLIERS AND CONSUMERS Turkey s geographic position makes it an important energy and logistics corridor, linking Europe with the Middle East, the Caucasus and Central Asia. 130 billion $ of investment is anticipated in this sector until 2023
44
45 Considered a natural energy bridge between major oil producing areas in the Middle East and Caspian Sea regions, and consumer markets in Europe on the other. Located at a close proximity of more than 70 percent of the world s proven primary energy reserves, while the largest energy consumer, which is Europe, is located right to the west of Turkey, thus making the country a linchpin in energy transit and an energy terminal in the region. Major Transit Point for seaborne-treaded oil and is becoming more important for pipeline-treaded oil and natural gas
46 Turkey's port of Ceyhan is an important outlet both for current Iraqi oil exports as well as Caspian oil exports. Major shipping check point between the Black and Mediterranean Seas. Growing volumes of Russian and Caspian oil are being sent by tanker via Turkey s bosporus straits to western market ( App. 3.0 million barrels per day (bbi/d ).
47 REGIONAL HUB FOR ENERGY Turkey is a regional hub for the export of gas to central and southern Europe, both from the Caspian Sea and, via the Black Sea, from Russia, as well as from the oil-rich Kurdistan region in Iraq $8bn contract with Azerbaijan to build TANAP, the trans Anatolian pipeline connecting the vast Shah Deniz gas field off the coast of Baku to Europe via Bulgaria and Turkey. Stretching 2,400 miles (3,850km), the link will transport a whopping 16bn cubic meters (bcm) of gas a year
48
49 Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project (TANAP) TANAP satisfies the gas needs of Europe and Turkey. This important project provides different types of gas which has been emerged with the cooperation of two brother countries, Turkey and Azerbaijan. TANAP is expected to carry 16 billion cubic meters of capacity through the pipeline. Will provide $8 billion in investments to local companies in Turkey.
50 Turkey would gain not only from the additional transit revenues a pipeline from the Eastern Mediterranean to Europe would provide, but would also be able eventually to import even larger quantities of gas from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and, possibly Turkish Cyprus, as well as Israel, thereby ensuring its own long-term energy supplies for its rapidly growing industries. The expansion of Turkey s role as a truly intercontinental energy hub would also cement its role as the future center of a vast web of petrochemical complexes, refineries, export terminals, storage facilities, power plants and industrial zones ready to serve both Europe and the Middle East, as well as Central Asia and the Caucasus (
