Russia increased its pipeline gas deliveries to Turkey in January–November 2025 by 3% compared with the same period a year earlier, reaching 18.9 billion cubic meters, according to TASS calculations based on data from Turkey’s Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA).
According to the regulator’s data, Turkey imported a combined 1.2 billion cubic meters of Russian gas in November via TurkStream and Blue Stream.
Total Russian gas flows to Turkey over the first 11 months of 2025 amounted to 18.9 billion cubic meters (+3.4%). If LNG shipments are also included (none were made in 2025), overall Russian gas supplies to Turkey in January–November rose by just 1.7%.
In full-year 2024, Russia increased pipeline gas deliveries to Turkey by 2.6%, to just over 21 billion cubic meters. Total Russian gas supplies to Turkey, including LNG, exceeded 21.5 billion cubic meters.
Russia supplies gas to Turkey through two pipelines running under the Black Sea. Blue Stream was commissioned in early 2003, has a design capacity of 16 billion cubic meters per year, and a total length of 1,213 km. TurkStream consists of two strings—one serving the Turkish market and the other supplying countries in Southern and Southeastern Europe—with a combined capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters; operations began in January 2020.
Turkey’s gas consumption in 2025 hit an all-time record, according to TASS calculations based on data from the Turkish exchange EPIAS. Domestic demand last year approached 64 billion cubic meters, up 13% from 2024.
