Georgia, historical Transit Country for Azerbaijani Oil Existing International Energy Transportation Projects: BTC,
BTE,
Problems with Expansion of these Projects and potential solutions Existing Regional Energy Transportation Projects: Baku/Supsa
oil pipeline, North South gas pipeline
Problems of expansion and potential solutions
Georgia’s Domestic Market: Electricity (liberal, open, export oriented) Gas Oil products
Solutions: Transparent and Stable Transit Conditions
First Organized Oil business in Baku 1580 1604, Transportation through Georgia and Iraqi Port of
Basra

Baku/Tbilisi/Erzurum gas pipeline – 6.6 bcm per year
North-South gas pipeline – 6 bcm per year
Current total transit of gas – 6. 5 (2009)
Problems of Gas Transit Expansion

9 Difficulties of
Azerbaijani/Turkish negotiations on Azerbaijani gas transit
Blockages on the way of building of TransCaspian gas pipeline
Lack of assurance on the demand side on European market

Strong competition by transit routes across Russia, China and Iran
Concerns regarding the demand on gas in EU
Georgia’s Domestic Market:Electricity (liberal, open, export oriented)

1370-80% based on
hydro power pending on the level of precipitation
Further development of Hydro
Transmission lines renovated or built new
Well connected with neighboring countries grids
Totally privatized with some exceptions
Access to export infrastructure
Georgia’s Domestic Market: dependent on one source but different suppliers

Suppliers: SOCAR and Shakh Deniz Consortium
Transit fee in kind 10% from North/South corridor

Transparent and Stable Transit Conditions across the Transit Chain
Develop CrossCaspian & CrossBlack Sea Transit Networks
Adopt and Implement Similar, competitive and acceptable for Parties Interested transit conditions
