Route

Rustavi-Poti Gas Pipeline runs from Rustavi to Poti. The map draws the tracked route and any LNG terminal within 25 km of it.

Loads about 250 kB of map code and the country outline file.

Segments

Each row is one row of GEM's pipeline file. Project-level figures repeated on every segment are counted once in the totals above.

Segment	Status	From → to	Length	Capacity	Diameter	Start	Route from
Whole pipeline	Shelved	Rustavi → Poti	370	10	914 mm	—	GEM's route file

Terminals whose coordinates fall within 25 km of this route, or whose name matches the pipeline. Proximity is not proof of a physical connection.

Terminal	Country	Import / export	Status	Distance	Matched by
Kulevi LNG Terminal	Georgia	Import	Cancelled	13 km	route proximity

Stakes as reported by GEM per segment, merged across segments.

How LNG works
Liquefied natural gas is natural gas chilled to about minus 162 degrees Celsius, at which point it becomes a liquid roughly 600 times smaller than the gas, so it can be shipped where no pipeline runs.
Mtpa, bcm and cubic metres
LNG capacity is quoted in three incompatible units, and the two conversions that matter are 1 million tonnes a year equals about 1.36 billion cubic metres of gas a year, and 1 cubic metre of liquid equals about 600 cubic metres of gas.
What terminal status actually means
A project status describes how far an LNG terminal or train has progressed, and the gap between proposed and operating is the single most misread number in the industry.
