This is well thought out. Not an idea that I’ve seen get traction elsewhere, so kudos to you for getting it out there for consideration,. Turkey and its state pipeline company have a long history of creating transit corridors for oil and gas. Two thoughts to consider: one. A pipeline from Qatar to Turkey will be in the $5 billion range. While it could be financed directly from sovereign wealth, It’s more likely that it would be project financed and a multi stakeholder multi country coalition. Two. One of the big commercial questions in multi country gas pipelines is: where is the point of sale from producer to consumer? Producers generally prefer to sell at the outlet of the pipeline, and consumers prefer to buy at the inlet of the pipeline. Why? Pipeline tariff, and most importantly, pipeline capacity allocation is the responsibility of the entity owning the gas in transit.
