UPI: Pipeline group woos BP-group in Azerbaijan

The planned Trans-Adriatic natural gas pipeline is the most compelling project for the BP-led consortium in Azerbaijan, the project's managing director said.TAP said it submitted a bid for consideration to the BP-led consortium working in the giant offshore Shah Deniz natural gas field in Azerbaijan. The group said its proposal included "hundreds of documents" outlining environmental, technical and financial aspects of the planned natural gas corridor.

"TAP's routing and easy expansion allows TAP to supply more gas to several markets in southeastern Europe and northern Europe, as and when more volumes become available," Managing Director Kjetil Tungland said in a statement. "Our pipeline is truly designed with the future in mind."  MORE
