MOSCOW – Gazprom is receiving proposals on extension of the TurkStream gas pipeline in Europe, but these talks do not have exclusivity provisions, CEO Alexei Miller said on Rossiya 24 television.
It was reported earlier that extension of TurkStream through Greece and through Bulgaria is being considered.
“Both lines go to Turkey. The gas pipeline will run along a route from Anapa in Russia, from the Russkaya compressor station, to Kiyikoy in Turkey. From there, one line will be for the Turkish market alone; this is 15.75 billion cubic meters. The other line is intended for countries in Southern and Southeastern Europe. At present there are proposals on pipe-laying routes. There is currently no exclusivity. Preliminary agreements with interested companies have been signed, therefore the work will continue,” Miller said.
“The second line is intended for countries in Southern and Southeastern Europe. Demand for gas in this region is growing and TurkStream will ensure reliable gas supplies to these countries,” he said.
