By Aygun Badalova - Trend:

Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP) has awarded the contract for the supply of six gas turbine turbo compressor units to Siemens AG, TAP reported on September 2.

Half of these items will be installed in TAP's compressor station near Kipoi, in Greece, and the remaining half at TAP's compressor station near Fier, in Albania.

The turbo compressors contract award concludes TAP's pre-qualification process (launched in June 2014), followed by bid assessments from the shortlisted companies that met TAP's rigorous pre-qualification criteria.

Siemens AG is one of the world's largest producers of energy-efficient, resource-saving technologies. In infrastructure and industry solutions the company plays a pioneering role.
In April 2015, TAP awarded its first major contract, for the construction of access roads and bridges in Albania. In July 2015, TAP completed the tendering process for the supply of large diameter ball valves and actuators.

TAP will transport natural gas from the giant 'Shah Deniz 2' field in Azerbaijan to Europe. The approximately 870 km long pipeline will connect with the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) at the Turkish-Greek border at Kipoi, cross Greece and Albania and the Adriatic Sea, before coming ashore in Southern Italy.

The pipeline's construction is expected to start in 2016.

TAP's initial capacity will be 10 billion cubic meters per year, expandable to 20 billion cubic meters per year.

TAP's shareholding is comprised of BP (20 percent), SOCAR (20 percent), Statoil (20 percent), Fluxys (19 percent), Enagás (16 percent) and Axpo (5 percent).
