The Giurgiu–Ruse pipeline will be a natural gas pipeline from Giurgiu in Romania to Ruse in Bulgaria diversifying natural gas suppliers and delivery routes for the two countries and connects the two natural gas national grids. The Giurgiu–Ruse pipeline will be part of the larger New European Transmission System meant to unite Central and South Eastern Europe's natural gas transmission networks.{{cite web | url = http://economie.hotnews.ro/stiri-energie-7994698-ministerul-economiei-despre-conducta-gaze-giurgiu-ruse-transgaz-finalizat-proiectul-tehnic-finantarea-europeana-nu-este-periclitata.htm | title = Ministerul Economiei despre conducta de gaze Giurgiu-Ruse: Transgaz a finalizat proiectul tehnic/ Finantarea europeana nu este periclitata | accessdate = January 9, 2011 | publisher = hotnews.ro}}

Preparations for the project started in 2010 and the intergovernmental agreement between Romania and Bulgaria was signed in November 2010. The project is developed by the consortium of two companies. The final investment decision was made at the end of 2010. The pipeline is expected to be operational by February 2012 and it will carry a minimum of 0.5 billion cubic meters and a maximum of 1.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year.{{cite web|url=http://www.money.ro/transgaz-va-alege-in-februarie-compania-care-va-construi-partea-romaneasca-din-conducta-giurgiu-ruse_817336.html |title=Transgaz va alege în februarie compania care va construi partea românească din conducta Giurgiu-Ruse |accessdate=January 9, 2011 |publisher=Money Express |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110725060432/http://www.money.ro/transgaz-va-alege-in-februarie-compania-care-va-construi-partea-romaneasca-din-conducta-giurgiu-ruse_817336.html |archivedate=July 25, 2011 }}
