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 has come under sustained drone-attack campaign in 2026, with twelve confirmed attacks in a fortnight at the Russkaya compressor station and elsewhere along the route. Flow has held at approximately 85% of contracted volumes through the cycle, but the operational risk premium has materially increased. A successful attack disabling TurkStream would cut Hungary's, Slovakia's and Serbia's primary supply.
The pipeline carrying Iranian natural gas to eastern Turkey has been offline since March 24, 2026 following feedstock destruction at the Iranian end. Iran historically supplied roughly 10% of Turkey's gas import portfolio via IGAT-6. The shutdown has tightened Turkish winter-cover margins and forced Turkey to increase Azerbaijani and Russian (via TurkStream) imports as substitution. Restoration timing depends on Iranian upstream repairs; no formal restart date has been announced.
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 northern leg supplying PCK Schwedt in Germany has been halted since May 1, 2026 following Russia's suspension of Kazakh crude transit. Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic continue to receive volumes via the southern leg.
The site continues to track flow status of the TANAP (Trans-Anatolian Pipeline) carrying Azerbaijani gas to Turkey and Europe, the Ras Laffan / Qatar Petroleum export infrastructure that feeds Qatari LNG carriers, 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. 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 the relaxed 80% statutory target. Combined with the IGAT-6 outage and the Druzhba north halt, Europe faces its tightest gas supply environment since 2022 heading into the 2026–27 winter.
