Major monitored natural gas pipeline routes — flow status and disruptions
This page tracks operational status of major international natural gas pipelines, with a focus on the routes that carry Russian, Caspian and Middle Eastern gas to European, Turkish and South Asian markets. The map and incident list above are updated as new operator filings, government statements and verified open-source incident reports arrive. Status categories follow the GEF threshold framework: offline / destroyed indicates a pipeline that is not currently transporting volumes due to physical damage or operator shutdown; disrupted indicates reduced flow or repeated incidents threatening operational integrity; reduced indicates flowing below contracted or nameplate capacity; active indicates flowing within normal range.
The undersea pipeline carrying Russian natural gas under the Black Sea to Turkey, with onward branches into Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungary and Slovakia. TurkStream now carries the largest share of Russian gas still reaching Europe following the 2022 reduction of Nord Stream and the gradual phase-down of Ukrainian-transit volumes. The system came under a sustained drone-attack campaign in March-April 2026 — Gazprom said facilities tied to TurkStream and Blue Stream were targeted twelve times in a two-week window, with three drones intercepted at the Russkaya compressor station on April 2. A separate plot was foiled on April 5 in Kanjiza, northern Serbia, where approximately four kilograms of explosives were found in two backpacks within a few hundred metres of the Balkan-Stream branch crossing toward Hungary. Hungary and Serbia subsequently reinforced military protection along the route. Flow has held at approximately 75–80% of contracted volumes through the cycle. The subsea section remains the operational concern: a successful attack disabling TurkStream would cut Hungary's, Slovakia's and Serbia's primary supply.
The 2,577km pipeline carrying Iranian natural gas to eastern Turkey has been effectively offline since March 24, 2026 following destruction of the South Pars feedstock infrastructure in the March 18 strikes — Day 123 today. The 25-year contract for up to 9.6 Bcm/year EXPIRED AT MIDNIGHT on July 1, 2026 — last night — and Turkish Energy Minister Bayraktar confirmed in April that no formal extension negotiations had commenced; no renewal has been announced as of this morning. Iran historically supplied roughly 10-14% of Turkey's gas-import portfolio via the pipeline. The shutdown has tightened Turkish winter-cover margins and forced Turkey to increase Azerbaijani and Russian (via TurkStream) imports plus LNG spot purchases as substitution; new long-term LNG agreements have been signed with ExxonMobil, Shell and TotalEnergies. Restoration timing depends both on Iranian upstream repairs and on whether a new contract is negotiated; no formal restart date has been announced.
The Ras Laffan Industrial City — about a fifth of global seaborne LNG supply — has been effectively offline since early March 2026. Iranian missile strikes on March 18 destroyed two of fourteen LNG trains (Trains 4 and 6), removing ~17% of QatarEnergy's export capacity; QatarEnergy declared long-term force majeure to buyers in China, South Korea, Italy and Belgium, and replacement-equipment lead times of 2-4 years mean those two trains will be offline for years. On June 21-22 an internal explosion at the Barzan local-supply facility during restart operations killed at least 13 people and injured more than 50, with several missing — Qatar said the blast was a technical malfunction during restart and would not affect LNG exports. The unaffected facilities — 12 of 14 trains — could return to full capacity within a month of safe Hormuz transit being established; Qatar's Prime Minister indicated normal production "within a few weeks" apart from the damaged trains. Empty Qatari LNG carriers have begun returning to the Gulf as Hormuz traffic has rebuilt and the deal-era ceasefire holds; the past weekend's US-Iran kinetic exchange (paused Sunday-Monday with talks moved to Doha for Tuesday June 30) added a security-risk layer that the restart timing now depends on.
The Soviet-era pipeline system carrying Russian and Kazakh crude oil into Central and Eastern Europe is technically a crude-oil pipeline rather than gas, but its disruption status affects European refining economics that downstream affect gas demand for power generation. The southern leg to Hungary and Slovakia restarted April 22, 2026 after a halt lasting months following a Russian drone strike on the Ukrainian section in late January; flows resumed at approximately 0935 GMT and the EU Ukraine loan was unblocked the same week. The northern leg supplying PCK Schwedt in Germany has been halted since May 1, 2026 following Russia's confirmation that Kazakh crude transit through Druzhba would stop — Day 85 today. Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic now receive Russian volumes via the restored southern leg.
The site continues to track flow status of the TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Pipeline) carrying Azerbaijani gas to Turkey and Europe, the Dolphin pipeline (Qatar-UAE-Oman, reduced as North Field output ran at ~17% deficit during the Ras Laffan outage), the Habshan/UAE gas-processing complex (suspended twice after March-April missile and drone debris incidents, partial operations resumed), the South Pars Iranian feedstock infrastructure (destroyed by March 18 strikes), the Yamal-Europe and Power of Siberia Russian export routes, and the 280+ additional commercial gas pipeline routes that make up the global trade network. The full disruption map and incident feed above reflect the current operational status of all monitored routes.
European gas storage levels (tracked separately on the storage page) cannot fully insulate the continent from pipeline disruption — storage provides withdrawal-season cover, not injection-season substitution. AGSI+ aggregate sits at ~50% as of the Jul 6 read (EnergyRiskIQ; corroborated by Bruegel's independent ~49% and TradingEconomics' ~49%), roughly 25 percentage points below the seasonal norm for the date, with roughly 3,729 GWh/day of injection needed through the Nov 1 deadline (118 days remaining) to hit the relaxed 80% target (ACER, EU Reg 2025/1733). The continued availability of TurkStream is the single most important variable determining whether Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia and downstream countries can complete the 2026 injection season at target. Combined with the Tabriz-Ankara expiry (now lapsed), the multi-year Ras Laffan capacity loss, and the Druzhba north halt, Europe faces its tightest gas-supply environment since 2022 heading into the 2026-27 winter. TTF has climbed for three straight days to ~€49.3/MWh Wed Jul 8 — up from €45.4 Monday and jumping over 4% Tuesday on the Al Rekayyat/Wedyan vessel strikes near Oman — a European heatwave lifting power-sector gas demand compounding the fresh Hormuz-strike risk premium; Energy Aspects' early-Q4-2026 estimate for Qatari LNG's return to European buyers looks more uncertain given this week's strikes.
