Background

The Georgian section (D=500/800 mm, L=46 km, P0=55 bar) of Karadaghi-Tbilisi Gas Pipeline consists of two parallel lines. Its construction started in 1959. South Georgia Gas Pipeline branch is connected to Karadaghi-Tbilisi Gas Pipeline that supplies gas to Kvemo Kartli and Samtskhe-Javakheti. Currently 500 mm pipeline’s 17 km length section up to Gardabani and 800 mm pipeline’s 24 km length section up to Rustavi are in operation, which continue with 700 mm section up to Vladikavkaz-Tbilisi pipeline connection.

In 2017, construction project for Azerbaijan border-Gardabani new 700-mm section was completed. It provides uninterrupted supply of Azerbaijani (SOCAR owned) gas to the market.
