UPI: BP readies for Azeri gas deliveries

Most of the contracts for a natural gas pipeline from Azerbaijan to Europe have now been awarded, BP regional President Gordon Birrell said.

BP and the South Caucasus Pipeline Co. awarded $735 million in contracts for the construction of more than 300 miles of pipelines and associated infrastructure in Azerbaijan and Georgia to a group led by a joint venture between Italian company Saipem and Azerbaijan's Azfen.

"We have now awarded most of the contracts for South Caucasus pipeline Expansion project and associated expansion facilities in Azerbaijan and Georgia," Birrell said in a statement Monday. "This is tremendous progress."
