Project Profile
Value: US$700 million
Location: Egypt – Jordan – Syria – Lebanon - Turkey
Start-up Year: 2012
The project will see the construction of a 370km pipeline from Aqaba to Samra and Rehab power stations.
The Phase two will see the development of the project, for which, Egypt, Syria and Turkey have agreed to extend the Arab Gas Pipeline. The three countries are looking to contract a company to carry out the extension from the Jordan/Syria Border. The first delivery is expected in March 2007. The development plan is to construct a 324km line from the Jordanian border to the Al-Rayan area east of Homs, and a branch to a power plant in Deir Ali. The Project, implemented on three phases aims at transporting and marketing the Egyptian gas to Jordan in its first and second phases, then crossing into Lebanon and Turkey as well as other European countries through Syria in its third phase.
The Phase three will see the development a 62 km pipeline between the northern Syrian city of Aleppo and Kilis in southeast Turkey. The line will connect the existing gas transmission network of the two countries and allow for the export to Turkey of Egyptian gas via the already constructed line through Jordan, which is linked to Syria’s existing transmission infrastructure.
When complete, the 10 bcm per year AGP will stretch 1,200 km from El Arish, in Egypt, to the Turkish border town of Kilis. The total cost of the project is estimated at US$1.2 billion.
