BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
The Southern Caucasus- Eastern Turkey energy corridors are formed by several critical
pipelines carrying crude oil and natural gas from Azerbaijan, via Georgia, to Turkey and
world markets. In civil engineering literature, such structures are commonly termed as
“Lifelines” for the cities and countries they cross, because of their importance and the
consequences of any damage to them. The two most important of these pipelines are the
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) Crude Oil Pipeline and the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (BTE)
Natural Gas Pipeline.
The BTC pipeline travels from Baku through Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey to the
Ceyhan marine terminal on the Turkish coast of the Mediterranean. The BTE gas line
follows the BTC corridor but terminates at Erzurum and connects to the Turkish pipeline
system. The 1,768 km long BTC pipeline daily transports about 1% of the world's daily
petroleum output, about 1 million barrels. The BTE pipeline has excess capacity today,
with 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas a year.
BTC and BTE Pipelines cross several active tectonic entities that have experienced large
earthquakes in the past. The design of pipelines taking into account the physical and
seismic properties of these entities with special emphasis on their potential of producing
significant earthquakes in the future is essential and crucial, considering the high
economical losses which will result from the break-down of the system even at a single
location along its route. Damage to a pipeline due to a large earthquake in one of the
countries will affect directly and indirectly all the other countries that the pipeline
extends, impacting large geographic regions and disrupting global economies.
The current NATO SfP project that has been carried out with Turkish, Georgian and
Azerbaijan researchers aims to identify the vulnerable segments of the pipelines to
earthquakes, and provide mitigation strategies by performing a comprehensive seismic
hazard and risk study for the pipelines. The primary goals of the project are: (1) to assess
the seismic hazard in Azerbaijan, Georgia and North Eastern Turkey (2) to evaluate the
seismic safety of the pipelines, (3) to develop efficient seismic risk monitoring and
mitigation strategies, and (4) to improve environmental security in this part of the world.
The project will result in the following products: (1) deterministic and probabilistic
seismic hazard maps in Azerbaijan, Georgia and North Eastern Turkey (i.e., expected
ground shaking maps) for the length of the pipelines, (2) geology and site amplification
maps, (3) fragility curves for all pipeline types used in the system, (4) maps of expected
damage in the pipelines for expected and scenario earthquakes, (5) a GIS-based software
package to incorporate and manipulate all the maps mentioned above, and (6)
specifications for a seismic monitoring system for the pipelines.

TECHNICAL PROGRESS
In 22-23 January 2009 a kick-off meeting of the project was held in Baku with the
participation of project teams from Georgia, Turkey and Azerbaijan. During the meeting
management of the project, major tasks, methodologies and softwares to be used,
available and required data and equipment were discussed.
Participants were asked to provide a list of hardware/ equipment needs, name of
conferences they plan to attend /name of the participants that will visit KOERI for hazard
analysis and site effects training. General remarks of the meeting can be summarizes as
follows:
-For seismic hazard analysis, 400 km wide strip of the pipeline route will be considered
(200 km wide from both sides).
-The risk assessment will initially be performed for 1km x 1km cells. Ground motion
parameters and site information will be assigned to the center point of each cell.
-Seismic hazard analysis and site response analysis will be performed with commercial
programs: EZ-FRISK and SHAKE2000, respectively.
- Training for seismic hazard analysis code will be organized by KOERI in Istanbul and
date was tentatively set as July 2009.
- In order to complete the first 6 months work, each country was required to obtain and
generate the following list:
 Geology maps
 Topography maps
 Pipeline coordinates
 Available borelog locations and other geo-technical information.
 Information on sites susceptible to liquefaction and landslides.
 Active tectonic maps.
 Historical and instrumental seismicity catalog (Ms≥5)
 Available seismic zonation maps
 Basic structural information necessary to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of
pipeline route/facilities.

Major travel: Prof. T. Chelidze, Drs. O.Varazanashvili and N.Tsereteli attended to kickoff meeting in Baku for working out the plan of work for the first year of the project.
Details of the meeting were given at the beginning of the technical report.
Technical and administrative difficulties: The equipment request has been sent to
Brussels but the decision has not been obtained yet. This may cause delay in the field
work.
Technical Report of
Azerbaijan
According to the plan of performance of the given stage of the project, Azerbaijan team
had been done following tasks:
 The digital map of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline on Azerbaijan territory was
prepared.
 The catalogue of earthquakes of Azerbaijan with Мlh≥4.0 during 427-2008 had
been compiled. The catalogue contains date (year, month, day), origin time Т0,
depth of hypocentres Н and magnitude Мlh of earthquakes. In the catalogue data
about earthquakes for the various periods of time had different errors. Origin
times of historical (before the 20th century) earthquakes were defined with
accuracy from several months till one year. Co-ordinates of these earthquakes
were defined with accuracy of ±50-100 km. Since 1930th year’s accuracy of these
parameters have a little raised. Up to the end of 1970th years an error in definitions
of co-ordinate of the epicentres of the majority earthquake made ±25 km. Since
1980 the epicentres co-ordinates of Azerbaijan’s earthquakes are defined with
accuracy ±10-15 km.
11
 For an estimation of seismic effect from strong earthquakes a relationship
between magnitude, depths of the earthquakes and seismic effect were used. For
territory of Azerbaijan character of attenuation of seismic effect (on a scale
MOSCOW TIME-64) had been investigated certain dependencies had been
established.
 Geological map of Azerbaijan territory (1:500 000 scale) was digitised.
 Fault map of Azerbaijan territory was digitized (1:1000000 scale).
 Data from 13 boreholes (engineering-geological and hydro-geological) drilled
near lines of the pipeline of BTC on territory of Azerbaijan had been collected.
 Distributions of landslide zones in Azerbaijan territory were digitised.
 Topographic map of Azerbaijan territory was digitised (scale 1:100 000).
 Kick-off meeting organization: The meeting was held in Baku in 2009, January
22-23 with chief of the project professor Erdal Safak, director of the project on
South Caucasus professor Tamaz Chelidze, the director of the project on
Azerbaijan doctor Arif Akhundov and the explorers from project countries, the
participants of the project was introduced to each other, was determined works

Abstract of Research
The Southern Caucasus- Eastern Turkey energy corridors are formed by several critical pipelines
carrying crude oil and natural gas from Azerbaijan, via Georgia, to Turkey and world markets. In
civil engineering literature, such structures are commonly termed as “Lifelines” for the cities and
countries they cross, because of their importance and the consequences of any damage to them. The
two most important of these pipelines are the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) Crude Oil Pipeline and
the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (BTE) Natural Gas Pipeline. These two pipelines cross major seismic
zones that have experienced large earthquakes in the past but, to our knowledge, none of these
pipelines has ever been evaluated comprehensively (other than the standard code-based design
studies) for their seismic safety and risk. None of the pipelines has any type of seismic monitoring
system.
The current project that has been carried out with Turkish, Georgian and Azerbaijan researchers
aims to identify the vulnerable segments of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) Crude Oil Pipeline and
the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum (BTE) Natural Gas Pipeline to earthquakes, and provide mitigation
strategies by performing a comprehensive seismic hazard and risk study for the pipelines.
Major Objectives




to assess the seismic hazard in Azerbaijan, Georgia and North Eastern Turkey
to evaluate the seismic safety of the pipelines
to develop efficient seismic risk monitoring and mitigation strategies
to improve environmental security in this part of the world.
