Iraq – Türkiye Crude Oil Pipeline

The Iraq-Turkey Crude Oil Pipeline (ITP) agreement -signed in 1973 to transport Iraq oil to the Ceyhan Terminal via a pipeline extending from northern Iraq into Turkey- has been terminated, effective July 27, 2026, pursuant to a decision published in the Official Gazette dated July 21, 2025 (Issue No. 32962). From date forward, the pipeline has continued its operaions under the name Silopi-Ceyhan Crude Oil Pipeline.

Silopi – Ceyhan Crude Oil Pipeline

The Silopi–Ceyhan Crude Oil Pipeline System consists of two pipelines—each approximately 652 km long and with diameters of 40 and 46 inches—that run from Silopi to the Ceyhan Marine Terminal, along with 12 storage tanks, 6 pump stations, and a jetty.

The two pipelines have a combined daily transport capacity of 1,520,000 barrels of crude oil. These lines are used to transport not only Iraq crude oil but also the domestic crude oil extracted from the Gabar field.

The pipeline not only contributes directly to meeting our country’s crude oil requirements but also plays a significant role in transforming Ceyhan into an energy hub and making a substantial contribution to the national economy.

Ceyhan – Kırıkkale Crude Oil Pipeline

This line started to operate in 1986 and its capacity is 7,2 million tonnes per year.

Batman – Dörtyol Crude Oil Pipeline

This line started to operate in 1967 as the Türkiye’s first COP and was transferred to BOTAŞ in 1984. Its capacity is 4.5 million tonnes per year.

Dörtyol-Ceyhan Crude Oil Pipeline

Dörtyol-Ceyhan Crude Oil Pipeline, which was put into operation in 2022, is a 37 km long pipeline extending from the beginning of Dörtyol district of Hatay to Ceyhan district of Adana.

With Dörtyol-Ceyhan HPBH, direct shipment of crude oil, which was previously delivered to Dörtyol terminal via Batman-Dörtyol HPBH and then transferred to Ceyhan Terminal by sea transportation and shipped to Ceyhan-Kırıkkale HPBH, has been made possible, without the need for sea transportation.

Bakü – Tblisi – Ceyhan Crude Oil Pipeline

Bakü – Tblisi – Ceyhan (BTC) Crude Oil Pipeline was constructed in order to transport oil from Caspian region, especially the Azerbaijan oil, to Ceyhan via Azerbaijan and Georgia securely and allowably in terms of the economy and environment and then to world markets by means of tankers.

As a 50 millions tonnes per year transportation capacity, the first tanker loading took place in 2006. The line is operated by our subsidiary, BOTAŞ International Limited Company (BIL).
