The Turkey Stream pipeline across the Black Sea seabed consists of two strings, one supplying gas to Turkish customers and the other to countries in Southern and Southeast Europe.

The pipeline began operation in January 2020 with a total capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters per year.

Earlier this week, Gazprom said it would drastically reduce the amount of gas supplied to Europe through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline to about 67 million cubic meters per day, citing technical reasons.
