Which major crude oil export pipeline transports oil from the Caspian Sea basin in Azerbaijan through Georgia to the Mediterranean deep-water port of Ceyhan in southern Türkiye?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline
- Step 1: The 1,768-kilometer BTC pipeline began commercial operation in 2006.
- Step 2: It allows Caspian crude oil to reach international tankers at the Ceyhan marine terminal without transit through the congested Turkish Straits.
Answer
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline.
Why not the others: 'Kirkuk-Ceyhan Pipeline' transports crude oil from northern Iraq to Ceyhan; 'TANAP' transports natural gas; 'Druzhba' is a Russian pipeline to Eastern Europe.
