Summary Information

* Source: Samsun (Turkey)
* Destination: Ceyhan (Turkey)
* Ownership: TAPCO, ENI & Calik Enerji whilst Rosneft & Transneft have signed an MOU
* Website:
* Length: 550 kilometres ( miles)
* Capacity: 1.5 barrels of oil per day
* Crude Type: Russian, Ural

+++ The Route

* From Samsun on the Black Sea coast of Turkey, to Ceyhan on the Meditereanean

+++ Project Scope

* The oil transportation system consists of the following main components:
* New unloading terminal and tank farm close to Samsun
* Pipeline from the area east of Samsun to Ceyhan (partly following the BTC corridor) and relevant pump/reducing stations.
* The pipeline will be 42-48 inches in diameter
* There will be 4 pumping stations
* There will be 1 pressure reducing station
* Connection with existing Ceyhan loading terminal and additional storage capacity.

+++ Pipeline Status
* Planned

+++ Other Information

* According to the IEA, compared to other by-pass alternatives, the Project offers the following advantages:
* it will benefit from synergies with existing Turkish facilities:(i) from Sariz to Ceyhan the pipeline will follow BTC’s right of way;
* Crude oil will be delivered to the existing Ceyhan Loading Terminal, which could be exploited at full capacity.
* The route runs only across Turkey, and no intergovernmental agreement should be put in place.
* Both unloading (Samsun) and loading (Ceyhan) terminals will allow use of VLCC tankers.
* The selected route represents the shortest transhipment distance in the Black Sea, with consequent time and cost savings.
* The environmental conditions along the route, as well as appropriate mitigation actions, are well known. Furthermore the pipeline runs in a scarcely populated area, and partly along the BTC corridor, and this will facilitate/expedite the landacquisition as well as the construction activities.
