Bloomberg: Nabucco Timeline Linked to Production Start at Shah Deniz

The Nabucco natural gas pipeline intended to transport gas from the Caspian region to Europe has linked its timeline with the start of production at the Shah Deniz gas field.

The Nabucco Gas Pipeline International GmbH can build the pipeline, which will run either from the Caspian via Turkey or from the Bulgarian-Turkish border, in three to four years “after a final investment decision is made,” spokesman Christian Dolezal told reporters in Sofia today.

“The production field has a timeline of when they start production and we want to align our efforts so that we can start transport to the market without any delay as soon as the gas is available from the Shah Deniz consortium,” Dolezal said.  MORE
