"During the pipeline's engineering process, growing demand for natural gas in the Istanbul area will be noted. As a result, the amount of natural gas supplied to Turkey's border with Greece has been adjusted to 47 billion cubic meters," the statement said.
It was previously believed that the pipeline, which will run on the bottom of the Black Sea, would supply a total of 63 billion cubic meters, with 13 billion going to Turkey and the rest going to the hub on the Greek border, where it would be available to European consumers.
As a result, the pipeline's landing point in Turkey was determined, as well as the distribution point for Turkish customers and the point at which the pipeline will enter Greece. The entire pipeline through Turkey will be 180 kilometers long.
The pipeline's completion is projected for December 2016, and it is expected that in the near future, permits will be granted for the survey and design of the Turkish undersea section of the pipeline.
