Title: Trans Anadolu Pipeline
MIT - September 23, 2006 02:12 PM (GMT)
Last Friday 15.9.2006 in Ankara Energy Ministry the contract between ENI (Italian) and Calik for the Project Trans Anadolu Pipeline or Samsun-Ceyhan Pipeline was signed.
A Pipeline to connect the Black Sea coast of Turkey with the Meditarenean Coast.
The Energy Ministry had months ago allready contracted Calik to build the Piepline and Calik established the Company TAPCO (Trans Anadolu Petrol Boru Hattı Sanayii ve Ticaret A.Ş.).
With ENI now officially signing the contract with Calik in the Energy Ministry, ENI is shareholder of 50% of TAPCO.
The Pipeline will be 550 KM long, 430 KM 48 inch, 120 KM 42 inch.
The pipeline will be operable in 2009.
The pipeline will have a first capacity of 1,5 Million barrels a day or about 75 Mio Tonnes a year.
With further pump stations they can increase capacity to 2 Million barrels a day.
That the pipeline is economically profitable, the Pipleine needs a throughput of about 700.000 Barrels a day. Otherwise it is not economical.
ENI which is mother of AGIP ensured by signing the contract, that they will pump 350.000 Barrels through the Pipeline.
ENI operates some big reccource fields in Central Asia.
All the oil will come from Russian Novorojsisk port.
The consortium is also in negotiation with Chevron and Shell.
Also Turkish governement still negotiates with Russia.
In case of Russia it is so, that Russia this month signed with Greece and Bulgaria the contract to build the Burgaz-Alexandropoulus Pipeline. So a Piepline which connects Bulgarian Black Sea with Greece Aegeis.
This Pipeline is said to be operable in 2010. In varying press coverge this Pipeline will have a capacity between 15-50 Mio Tonnes.
The Samsun-Ceyhan as well as the Burgaz-Alexandropoulus Pipeline will be filled by Tanker from the Black Sea which come from Russian Novorsijsk.
Here a map to better understand:
The Burgaz-Alexandropoulus has a 15 years long histroy.So long went the negotiations between Russia, Greece and Bulgaria.
Russia wanted to be Copnsortium partner in the Samsun-Ceyhan project and Turkish officials and Russian officials negotiated long time in this matter.
But they couln't agree that Russian firms will also have their share of the cake in building the pipeline.
And abracadabra Russia comes with the 15 year long negotiated Burgaz-Alexandropolous Pipeline.
Because of the Aegean Islands, Alexandropoulus can only absorb and handle 150.000 Tonnes Oil-Tankers.
Ceyhan can handle 300.000 Tonnes Oil tankers, and Samsun-Ceyhan Pipeline will lead 3/5 on its way paralell to BTC Pipeline, which has an cost effect on security as well as maintenance costs.
Greece will get about 90 Million dollar a year from this Burgaz-Alexandropoulus Pipeline if they build it.
Besides, i saw it on NTV "Yakin Plan", there is raising objection to the project by various groups in Greece.
They say, that 90 Million can not be that attractive to risk a accident with Oil tankers on the Aegean Islands, which will affect the Multi-Billion Dollar Torism.
Also on the touristic Islands there will be Oil Tanker traffic.
But, if Russia decides for Burgaz-Alexandropoulus or Samsun-Ceyhan, it is not that important for Turkey. We will fill Samsun-Ceyhan with Kazakhian, Shell, ENI, and Chevron oil.
Both projects will dramtically relive the Bosphorus and Dardanelles traffic. Very good.
For comparison in which dimesions we talk. BTC has a first capacity of 1 Mio Barrels a day. Samsun-Ceyhan has a first capacity of 1,5 Mio Barrels a day.
Also, TPAO, Petrobras and BP have geared their oil-localization activities in the Turkish Black sea.
When in some years we come to the point that Oil is being produced we will have a instrument with the Samsun-Ceyhan Pipeline to transport this oil from the Black sea to Ceyhan and sell and load it up to big Oil tankers for the world.
Samsun-Ceyhan project is a very important project for Turkey and Turkey is in all points in a WIN-WIN situation with this project, whetehr Russians pump their oil through this pipeline or not.
- It will ensure Turkey further makeing important in the energy securit yof this world.
- The oil traffic through Bosphorus and Dardanells will be sunken
- Ceyhan finally raises into Economy and Politic interest of this world:
----- Bakü-Tiflis-Ceyhan
----- Kirkuk-Ceyhan (Yumurtalik)
----- Samsun-Ceyhan

the negotiations with Shell are advancing
| QUOTE |
| Shell eyes Turkish pipe deal Anglo-Dutch supermajor Shell has signed a deal with Turkey's Calik Energy and Italy's Eni on its possible participation in a key Turkish oil pipeline project, it said today. The pipeline will carry oil between the Black Sea town of Samsun and the Turkish Mediterranean port of Ceyhan, bypassing the Bosphorus. "This bypass project will reduce the heavy tanker traffic in the straits and will have the role of a sustainable export corridor for the delivery of crude from Russia and the Caspian region which is expected to keep increasing," the statement said. Turkey chose Calik to build the 550 kilometre pipeline in April and gave the company and its partner Eni six months to complete its engineering and design studies. The pipeline will pump 75 million tonnes of oil per year. Delays at the Turkish straits have added to shipping costs for exports of Urals blend crude from Black Sea ports. When weather is bad, ships can be delayed at the passage for weeks. Turkey envisages Ceyhan as a regional energy hub and Calik announced in August that it had applied with Indian Oil Corporation for a licence to build a $4.9 billion refinery there. Ceyhan is the terminal of the Baku-Tblisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline, which has the capacity to fill 1 million barrels per day, and is also the terminal for a pipeline from Iraq's Kirkuk oilfields. |
