Contracts & Procurement Advisor

Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) transports natural gas from the giant Shah

Deniz field in the Azerbaijani sector of the Caspian Sea to Europe. The 878 km

long pipeline connects with the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at the

Turkish-Greek border in Kipoi, crosses Greece and Albania and the Adriatic Sea,

before coming ashore in Southern Italy.

TAP will facilitate gas supplies to

South Eastern European countries through prospective interconnectors. TAP is

connected to Interconnector Greece Bulgaria (IGB) which started its commercial

operations in October 2022, providing Caspian gas to Bulgaria, enhancing

security of energy supplies in one more European country. TAP's exits in Greece

and Albania, together with the landfall in Italy provide multiple opportunities

for further transport of gas from Azerbaijan to the wider European markets.

As a key part of the Southern Gas

Corridor, TAP is strategically and economically important to Europe and

essential in providing reliable access to a new source of natural gas. TAP

plays a significant role in boosting Europe's energy security, supply

diversification, as well as its decarbonisation objectives.
