Whilst Turkey does not have enough indigenous natural gas reserves to meet the existing and growing demand, the country does have great advantages, as it is located between the major supplier countries in the Middle East and Eurasia and is placed at the crossroads of an energy hungry European natural gas market. Therefore, the major aim of this research is to explore capacity building in the creation of relationships of interdependence between Turkey and supplier and demanding countries. Rather than introducing a dependency energy mechanism, this thesis offers the interaction capacity of the country with natural gas suppliers and consuming countries. In order to explain the relationship between politics and energy variables, the thesis establishes the theoretical framework of the study through the use of a pluralistic and integrated model, by combining International Relations Theories, the foreign policy making process of Turkey and a conceptualisation of the relations of energy interdependence. The descriptive analysis of Eurasia and the energy profile of Turkey provide detailed information about the existing energy trade and dependency relations in the Eurasian space. Hence, it explains the importance of Turkey in Europe’s diversification of energy corridors and Turkey’s natural gas market, which is considered to be the second biggest market in Europe. The significance and role of Turkey in the construction of pipeline projects (ITGI, TANAP, Nabucco, Nabucco-West and TAP) that go through Turkey to Europe, a route which is called the Southern Corridor, are analysed in the thesis. On the other hand, this thesis offers certain perspectives for the Caspian-Turkey- Europe natural gas corridor, focusing on Azerbaijan-Turkmenistan’s role in the natural gas trade for the energy security of Europe. Moreover, the natural gas potential of Iran, Iraq (including KRG), Qatar, Egypt and Israel, Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan are viewed as major natural gas sources for Turkey and Europe in this thesis. Turkey has historical and economic ties with the Caspian Sea and Middle East regions, which hold immense natural gas reserves that can be marketed to Turkey and to the European Union (EU). Mapping Turkey’s energy relations with consuming and producing countries, and defining Turkey’s geopolitical space, will not only help to develop its energy policy to secure its own energy consumption but also to manage interdependence relations between Eurasia and Europe. This is a new conceptualisation of energy supply and transit management of Turkey in the context of a new model called the Anatolian Gas Centre (AGS). ii DECLARATION None of the material contained in this thesis has previously been submitted for a degree at the University of Durham or any other university.

Cordesman Arleigh A. Burke Chair in Strategy Second Edition May 24, 2012 Introduction 2 Introduction Any estimate of energy risk is highly uncertain. The reality can vary sharply according to national and global economic conditions, politics, war, natural disasters, discoveries of new reserves, advances in technology, unanticipated new regulations and environmental issues, and a host of other factors. Moreover, any effort to model all aspects of world energy supply and demand requires a model so complex that many of its interactions have to be nominal efforts to deal with the variables involved. Even if perfect data were available, there could still be no such thing as a perfect model. That said, the US Department of Energy (DOE) and its Energy Information Agency (EIA) do provide estimates based on one of the most sophisticated data collection and energy modeling efforts in the world. Moreover, this modeling effort dates back decades to the founding of the Department of Energy and has been steadily recalibrated and improved over time – comparing its projections against historical outcomes and other modeling efforts, including those of the International energy Agency and OPEC. The DOE modeling effort is also relatively conservative in projecting future demand for petroleum and natural gas. It forecasts relatively high levels of supply from alternative sources of energy, advances in new sources of energy and liquid fuels, and advances in exploration and production.

  • Caspian Oil and Gas Complements Other IEA Studies of Major Supply Regions, Such As Middle East Oil and Gas and North African Oil and Gas
    3 FOREWORD The Caspian region contains some of the largest undeveloped oil and gas reserves in the world. The intense interest shown by the major international oil and gas companies testifies to its potential. Although the area is unlikely to become “another Middle East”, it could become a major oil supplier at the margin, much as the North Sea is today. As such it could help increase world energy security by diversifying global sources of supply. Development of the region’s resources still faces considerable obstacles. These include lack of export pipelines and the fact that most new pipeline proposals face routing difficulties due to security of supply considerations,transit complications and market uncertainties. There are also questions regarding ownership of resources, as well as incomplete and often contradictory investment regimes. This study is an independent review of the major issues facing oil and gas sector developments in the countries along the southern rim of the former Soviet Union that are endowed with significant petroleum resources: Azerbaijan, Kazakstan,Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Caspian Oil and Gas complements other IEA studies of major supply regions, such as Middle East Oil and Gas and North African Oil and Gas. It also expands on other IEA studies of the area, including Energy Policies of the Russian Federation and Energy Policies of Ukraine. The study was undertaken with the co-operation of the Energy Charter Secretariat, for which I would like to thank its Secretary General, Mr. Peter Schütterle. Robert Priddle Executive Director 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The IEA wishes to acknowledge the very helpful co-operation of the Energy Charter Secretariat, with special thanks to Marat Malataev, Temuri Japaridze, Khamidulah Shamsiev and Galina Romanova.

  • 5Th Pipeline Technology Conference 2010
    5th Pipeline Technology Conference 2010 The next generation of oil and gas pipelines - who, what, where and when.... Julian Lee Senior Energy Analyst Centre for Global Energy Studies UK Abstract This paper seeks to identify the next wave of major oil and gas pipeline construction projects around the world, assessing which countries are likely to be able to turn their plans for new pipelines into real, bankable projects. It is not a comprehensive, or exhaustive, list of new pipeline projects. There is no shortage of new oil and gas pipeline proposals that are keeping project sponsors, industry analysts and conference organisers busy. Many of them are grand in their ambition, many seek to meet the political ends of their sponsors, many cross several international borders, and all will compete for capital and resources. Many of tomorrow’s oil and gas supplies are being developed in areas that are remote from existing infrastructure, far from markets or export terminals. Tomorrow’s big, new hydrocarbons consumers live in countries that are only just beginning to develop their oil and gas import and transmission infrastructures, while traditional markets are stagnating. Politics, too, is playing its part, as old alliances are tested and both buyers and sellers seek security of supply and greater diversification. 1. The evolving geography of oil and gas The geography of oil and gas trade is changing. Big new oil and consumers are emerging. The centre of energy demand growth has shifted dramatically from West to East. At the same time, new centres of oil and gas production are also emerging.

  • The New Context for the Turkish-U
    1 TURKEY’S NEW ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY BALANCING COMMERCIAL INTERESTS WITH GEOPOLITICAL GOALS Mehmet Ögütçü1 Abstract The need for a comprehensive reform agenda has become extremely pressing in Turkey. At the international level, the key element is Turkey’s drive towards EU membership, which will require a huge overhaul of its regime, practices and governance (linked with the call for a new political architecture and a redefinition of national interests in foreign affairs strategy). Domestically, sense of economic crisis has accelerated needed reforms and brought an unprecedented sense of urgency. The post-crisis Turkey may well rebound and recover quickly on a solid basis, as was the case in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian crisis for Thailand and Korea. We see the novel economic diplomacy strategy as an essential part of Turkey’s wide range of policy and institutional reform agenda, designed to put Turkey on a sound footing in the new international system. More economics and less geopolitics During the Cold War, the Turkish diplomacy, like that of other NATO nations, was more focused on security, regional stability, and managing the balance of power between two superpowers and two competing models of governance. Business interests often took a back seat to these concerns. Although frustrated, business understood this. Today, we live in a different world, where competition among nations increasingly takes place in the economic arena, although for Turkey situated in a difficult neighborhood, the security issues still top the national agenda and foreign affairs. Yet, advancing Turkey’s economic interests abroad will not only create valuable new business opportunities for Turkish firms but will also enhance Turkey’s pursuit of more traditional foreign policy and security objectives by creating interdependencies and mutual interests that cannot be readily sacrificed.
