The Southern Gas Corridor is one of the priority energy projects
for the EU. It envisages the transportation of gas from the Caspian
region to the European countries through Georgia and Turkey.
At the initial stage, the gas to be produced as part of the Stage 2
of development of Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz field is considered as
the main source for the Southern Gas Corridor projects. Other
sources can also connect to this project at a later stage.
As part of the Stage 2 of the Shah Deniz development, the gas will
be exported to Turkey and European markets by expanding the South
Caucasus Pipeline and the construction of Trans Anatolian Natural
Gas Pipeline and Trans Adriatic Pipeline.
