At present, the main pipeline information under construction in Europe is as follows:

The South Natural Gas Corridor is an important energy cooperation project promoted by the EU, Türkiye, Azerbaijan and other countries. It was officially launched in 2018, and the natural gas from the Caspian Basin will be transported to Europe through this project.

The Ungheni Chisinau natural gas pipeline is 117KM long with a diameter of 600mm. The construction purpose of the pipeline is to reduce the dependence of the Republic of Moldova on Russian gas and to transport Romanian natural gas to the capital city of Chisinau, Moldova, in order to enhance energy security.

The EUGAL natural gas pipeline, with a length of 480km and a diameter of 1422mm, runs from the Baltic Sea through Mecklenburg, Western Pomerania, and Brandenburg to the southern part of Saxony on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. The starting point of the pipeline will be from the gas source of the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline, which is a natural gas network connecting Siberia and the European center through the Baltic Sea. It mainly consists of two parallel pipeline sections. The first section of the pipeline started construction in October 2018, and the second section is expected to be constructed by European company Allsea for trial operation this year. This pipeline will strengthen the natural gas supply to Germany and Europe, making the European natural gas transportation network more stable and flexible.

The Trans Adriatic Gas Pipeline (TAP). The pipeline is 878km long, with 550km passing through Greece, 215km passing through Albania, 105km passing through the Adriatic seabed, and 8km passing through southern Italy, with a diameter of 1219mm. TAP is a part of the South Natural Gas Corridor, which will dock with TANAP at the Maricha River on the border between Türkiye and Greece at the end of 2018.

IGB natural gas pipeline. The length is 182km, including 31km in Greece and 151km in Bulgaria, with a diameter of 813mm. This pipeline will connect StaraZagora in Bulgaria and Komotini in Greece, which is of great strategic significance for Bulgaria, Greece, and Southeast Europe, as well as for promoting the development of the EU energy market. The project is planned to be completed this year.

BRUA natural gas pipeline. The pipeline is 550km long and has a diameter of 813mm. It connects natural gas fields in eastern and central Europe to the Caspian and Black Seas, running through Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Austria. The BRUA pipeline will connect some existing pipeline facilities and new pipelines in Europe with natural gas from the Black Sea, and is expected to reach the capacity to transport natural gas from the Caspian Sea in 10-15 years.

Baltic connector natural gas pipeline. The project is 152km long with a diameter of 508-711mm, including 22km on land in Finland, 80km at sea, and 50km on land in Estonia. It is expected to be completed by 2020 with a total amount exceeding 260 million euros. The project will connect Estonia and Finland through the Gulf of Finland, which is of great significance for the utilization of natural gas in Finland. The project allows Finland to import natural gas through the GIPL pipeline between Poland and Lithuania, both of which can be connected to the Baltic Sea pipeline.

Poland Lithuania Natural Gas Pipeline (GIPL). The pipeline is 534km long with a diameter of 701mm. It connects Rembelszczyzna near the Polish capital Warsaw and Jauniunai near the Lithuanian capital Vilnius. Natural gas is transported from west to east by Lithuania. The pipeline is jointly invested by Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia along the Baltic Sea coast and has reached a construction agreement with Poland. It is expected to be completed in 2021.

Baltic natural gas pipeline. The pipeline is 900km long and connects with the North Sea pipeline from northern Poland, passing through the Baltic Sea region of Sweden and Denmark. The pipeline is expected to be completed in 2022-2025 as an important part of the North South Gas Corridor, connecting Poland's natural gas supply system with Norway's North Sea oil and gas fields, which is crucial for energy security in Poland and surrounding areas.

The Ionian Adriatic Sea natural gas pipeline (IAP pipeline). The pipeline is 516km long with a diameter of 800mm and is a two-way pipeline with reverse transportation capacity. It starts from the non Char district of Albania, passes through Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and ends at the port city of Split in southern Croatia. The pipeline renovation is planned to commence construction in 2020, with a construction period of 2-3 years.

TurkStream (Türkiye Stream Gas Pipeline). There are two natural gas pipeline projects with a total transmission capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters. The first pipeline will deliver natural gas to Türkiye, and the second pipeline will deliver natural gas to southern and south-eastern Europe through the territory of Türkiye. The pipeline laying took 15 months and was completed ahead of schedule in November 2018. The terminal near Kiyikoy settlement in Türkiye was completed in 2019. The starting point for supplying gas to TurkStream is the Russkaya compressor station (CS), which is part of the unified gas supply system in Russia and is located near Anapa. CS has a capacity of 224 MW, which can maintain the pressure required for the transmission of natural gas along the two pipelines of the pipeline. It reaches the coast of Türkiye through more than 930 kilometers, allowing natural gas to enter the receiving terminal.

North Stream, officially known as North Transgas and North European Gas Pipeline, Russian: Северный поток） It is an offshore natural gas pipeline operated by Nord Stream AG, starting from Viborg, Russia and continuing all the way to Greyswald, Germany. This project includes two parallel pipelines, No.1 and No.2. In 2017, Germany imported 53 billion cubic meters of natural gas from Russia, accounting for 40% of Germany's total natural gas consumption. The Beixi No.1 pipeline was laid in May 2011 and officially put into use on November 8, 2011. The total length of the North Stream 2 pipeline is 1222 kilometers (759 miles), surpassing the Langled pipeline and becoming the world's longest underwater pipeline. This pipeline connects the Ust Luga region near St. Petersburg to Greifswald in northeastern Germany. The route will cross the Baltic Sea, with most sections following the direction of the North Stream Line 1, which was put into operation in 2011. Gazprom is the exclusive shareholder of Nord Stream Line 2, responsible for implementing this € 9.5 billion project and bearing half of the costs. The remaining half is funded by five Western companies, namely ENGIE, OMV, Royal Dutch Shell, Uniper, and Wintershall.

Russia, as an oil and gas producing country in the European region, has a highly developed domestic and export oil and gas pipeline network. The main domestic pipeline transportation arteries include the Friendship Pipeline, the Baltic Sea Pipeline Transportation System, the Northwest Pipeline System, the Tengiz Novorossisk Pipeline and Baku Novorossisk Pipeline, the Kostovo Yaroslavl Kirish Primorsk Finished Oil Pipeline, the Voskleshenka Samara Volgograd Tihoretsk Novorossisk Finished Oil Pipeline, and the East Siberian Pacific Crude Oil Pipeline. In recent years, Russia has vigorously developed natural gas blocks in the Yamal Peninsula, Arctic Continental Shelf, East Siberia, and Far East beyond its existing unified schedule system, which will expand more energy transmission channels. The Pipeline Conference will be sorted out and sent out in the near future. Please pay attention to the official account of China International Pipeline Conference for details.
