Explosion at South Caucasus Pipeline
Turkey The attack occurred in Turkey’s northeastern province of Posof, close to the Georgian border. The 691-kilometre pipeline carries natural gas from Shah Deniz, Azerbaijan’s largest natural gasfield, to Turkey via Georgia. In the first quarter of 2015, the South Caucasus Pipeline had a daily throughput of 21,000 mcm (742,000 mcf).
This explosion follows last week’s attacks on the Turkey-Iran natural gas pipeline and on a crude oil pipeline flowing to Turkey from Iraq, both of which disrupted flows. While Iran has partially resumed shipments to Turkey, flows from Kirkuk to Ceyhan have been completely halted.
