US Confirms Iran Sanctions Waiver For Azerbaijan Natural Gas Pipeline to Turkey, Europe
S&P Global Platts: The Southern Gas Corridor has received a waiver from US sanctions against Iran’s energy customers, an expected win for the project, designed to transport 16 Bcm/year of Caspian natural gas to Turkey and southern Europe while bypassing Russia. The language appeared in an executive order that President Donald Trump signed Monday. BP had been seeking a sanctions waiver for its development of Azerbaijan’s offshore Shah Deniz fields, the source of the Southern Gas Corridor’s natural gas. Iran’s NICO holds a 10% share in the second phase of Shah Deniz, potentially triggering US sanctions against Iran petroleum sector investment. US energy sector sanctions being re-imposed November 4 will ban companies from the US financial system if they continue to do business with Iran. Countries that depend on Iranian oil imports are continuing to press the US government for waivers. For more on this story visit spglobal.com or click https://bit.ly/2KD7ynv
