Modification of feeder line concept

23 August 2010 13:51 (UTC +04:00)

Two feeder lines were confirmed and the respective engineering works were ordered but due to the current political situation, Nabucco Gas Pipeline International is not planning a third one to the Turkish-Iranian border so far.
There will be a feeder line to the Turkish-Georgian and to the Turkish-Iraqi border. The planned route offers a wide range of supply sources for the Nabucco gas pipeline, which will receive gas from Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan and Iraq.
Nabucco is a multi-sourcing project and will as such not rely on a single source or supplier for the operation of the pipeline. The Caspian region and the Middle East are among the worldâ€™s richest gas regions and have large potential for gas export to Europe. These regions will therefore play a crucial role both in diversification and security of supply. The investment for the pipeline is 7.9 billion Euro.
