Russian Gas Deliveries to Türkiye Climb in 2025

Russia increased its pipeline gas deliveries to Türkiye by 14% year-on-year during January-October 2025, reaching 17.7 billion cubic meters (bcm), according to calculations by TASS based on data released by Türkiye’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK).

In October, Türkiye imported a total of 1.63 bcm from Russia via the TurkStream and Blue Stream, The Caspian Post reports, citing TASS.

In the first ten months of this year, Russian gas shipments to Türkiye reached 17.7 bln cubic meters (+14%). Including liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments (none have been made this year so far), the overall increase in Russian gas supplies to Türkiye from January to October 2025 equaled 12%.

In 2024, Russia increased pipeline gas supplies to Türkiye by 2.6% to slightly over 21 bcm. Total gas supplies from Russia to Türkiye, including LNG, exceeded 21.5 bcm.

Russia supplies gas to Türkiye via two pipelines through the Black Sea. Blue Stream was commissioned in early 2003. The design capacity of the pipeline spanning 1,213 kilometers is 16 bln cubic meters per year. The export gas pipeline TurkStream consists of two lines, one of which is designed for delivering gas to Turkish consumers, while the second one supplies gas to southern and southeastern European countries. The total capacity of TurkStream commissioned in January 2020 amounts to 31.5 bcm, with its operation having started in January 2020.
