One sure winner emerges in southern gas corridor race

Nabucco West and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), the two planned projects competing for Azeribaijani gas, have both signed agreements with the Trans-Anatolia Gas Pipeline (TANAP) between Turkey and Azerbaijan.

On the 5 March 2013, Nabucco announced the signing of a deal with TANAP, in which the two parties formally agree to cooperate on the development of the Southern Gas Corridor.

The Southern Gas Corridor is jargon for the various projects to bring gas from the Azerbaijan offshore Shah Deniz II field to European customers.
