По БТД транспортировано 3 млрд. баррелей нефти

Нефтяной гигант BP сообщил, что по трубопроводу Баку-Тбилиси-Джейхан за всю его историю существования было транспортировано 3 миллиарда баррелей нефти. "В течение последних 12 лет по БТД безопасно, тихо, надежно, невидимо и с минимальным риском углеводороды из Каспия экспортировались глобальным клиентам", - говорится в сообщении компании, опубликованном на веб-сайте в понедельник (16 июля).

"Начиная со стадии строительства, BTC имеет положительную динамику, принося значительные выгоды в регион, избегая турецких проливов, что помогает снять неизбежный рост трафика, связанного с нефтью, и связанных с этим рисков для окружающей среды, при одновременном создании значительных доходов для стран транзитеров, и продолжает помогать укреплять экономические и политические связи между Азербайджаном, Грузией, Турцией и Западом. На сегодняшний день БТД имеет сильные показатели безопасности и эффективности. Его эффективность и надежность работы увеличились с 75% до 99,9%", говорится в сообщении компании.

Трубопровод BTC (с общей протяженностью 1768 км) имеет пропускную способность 1,2 миллиона баррелей нефти в день и позволяет безопасно и ответственно экспортировать нефть из Каспия без увеличения количества танкеров через уже переполненные турецкие проливы.

Трубопровод имеет восемь насосных станций и 98 клапанных станций в трех странах транзитерах. Трубопровод пересекает несколько горных хребтов, поднимаясь на высоту 2830 метров, прежде чем вернуться на уровень моря в Джейхане, 3000 дорог, железных дорог и инженерных сетей - как надземных, так и подземных - и более 1500 водотоков до 500 метров в ширину, как в случае реки Джейхан в Турции.

Рассматриваемый как один из самых больших и сложных инженерных достижений своего времени в мире, строительство BTC заняло четыре года - оно было санкционировано в июле 2002 года и было завершено в мае 2006 года. В ходе строительных работ на пике работ было задействовано 22,000 человек (из которых почти 80% были местными работниками), на что было потрачено более 110 миллионов человеко-часов, 220 000 соединенных труб, сваренных вместе.

Однако BTC - это не просто инженерное достижение. Политический редактор Commonspace.eu сообщает, что "во многих отношениях BTC стал поворотным моментом для Южного Кавказа и его роли в энергобезопасности Европы, и в первые Южный Кавказ был интегрирован в экономику Европы. БТД значительно снизил зависимость Южного Кавказа от России, и его потенциал по изменению геополитики региона до сих пор не исчерпан".

Germany accuses Russia of cyberattacks and disinformation campaign

The German government holds Russia responsible for a cyberattack on German air traffic control, and for targeted disinformation campaigns before the last federal election. According to the German Foreign Office in Berlin, the incidents could be clearly attributed to the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. In response, the Russian ambassador to Berlin was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. "We have been observing a massive increase in threatening hybrid activities by Russia for some time now," a spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry stated. These range from disinformation campaigns and espionage to cyberattacks and sabotage attempts. The aim is to divide society, sow distrust, and undermine confidence in democratic institutions. The spokesperson added that with these actions, Russia is "very concretely threatening our security, not only through its war of aggression against Ukraine, but also here in Germany."  The Foreign Ministry spokesperson explained that the cyberattack on air traffic control in August 2024 was clearly attributed to the hacker collective "APT28," known as "Fancy Bear," and to the responsibility of the Russian military intelligence service, the GRU. Furthermore, it could now be "conclusively stated" that Russia had attempted "to influence and destabilize both the last Federal election and the ongoing internal affairs of the Federal Republic of Germany." There was "absolutely irrefutable evidence" for this". The so-called "Storm 1516" campaign, which has been running since 2024, is allegedly backed by "reliable information" that the Moscow-based think tank "Center for Geopolitical Expertise" is behind it. The Center is also said to be supported by Russian military intelligence. Its primary aim is to influence democratic elections in the West. (Click the image to read more).
