Talks of the long-stalled Qatar-Türkiye Natural Gas Pipeline have resurfaced, promising to reshape regional energy dynamics, bolster Europe’s energy security, and challenge traditional energy giants. Linking Qatar’s gas reserves to Europe, the project seeks to enhance energy security, geopolitical influence, and economic stability across the Middle East and beyond.

“By providing an alternative route for Qatari gas, the pipeline could reduce dependence on maritime chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb,” Dr Justin Dargin, a senior MENA energy and climate expert, stated. The land-based pipeline route would not only enhance supply security for Türkiye and Europe but also shield these regions from maritime disruptions, including threats posed by Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.
As Dargin noted: “The fragmented security environment in Syria makes stability a non-negotiable prerequisite for the pipeline’s success.” Historically, Qatar has favoured LNG over pipeline exports due to the flexibility and profitability associated with liquefied gas. "By diversifying its export mechanisms, Qatar could mitigate the risks of fluctuating global LNG prices and shipping uncertainties," Dargin explained.
