TurkStream construction to start in days
Multinational “We have finished all preparatory and mobilisation works [on the project],” Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller said, quoted by the Vestnik Kavkaza newspaper. “I report to you that we are ready to start the construction of the sea stretch of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline in a few days.”
The twin pipes with a combined capacity of 31.5 bcm (1.11 tcf) per year will carry Russian gas under the Black Sea to Turkey and at a later stage to clients in the EU. The first section is scheduled to be completed in 2019.
In December 2016, Gazprom contracted Allseas Group to work on the undersea section of the pipeline, and in early February the Russian parliament ratified the project.
Construction of the pipeline was originally projected to start in the second half of this year.
