Russian state-run gas company Gazprom OAO (GAZP.RS) said Monday it would
boost its supply of gas to
Turkey
by
60% following an explosion on the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum pipeline that halted
natural gas shipments from
Iran
and
disrupted flow from
Azerbaijan
.
Turkey
's
state-owned pipeline company Botas requested an increase in gas volume to 48
million cubic meters per day from 30 million cubic meters a day, the company
said.
Gazprom said it would try to meet the demand if "technically
possible." Earlier Monday,
Iran
's
state-owned National Iranian Gas Co. said it was halting supply due to an
incident on the pipline.
Last week, BP Azerbaijan said it was redirecting flow around the same pipeline.
Azeri news agency Trend reported that the Turkish section of the pipeline
transporting Azerbaijani gas to
Turkey
was
attacked, citing the Turkish energy ministry.
Eastern Turkey
is home to a Kurdish insurgency and the pipeline
has suffered regular explosions in recent years.
There has also been mounting tensions in the border region between
Turkey
and
Syria
, with
both sides trading fire in recent days as the civil war threatens to embroil
its neighbor.
