Nabucco gas pipeline project is designed to transport gas from the Caspian region and Middle East to the European countries. The project is planned to start construction in 2013 and the first supplies will be commissioned in 2017. The total length of the pipeline is 3900 kilometres with a maximum capacity of 31 billion cubic metres per year. The project's partners include the Austrian OMV, Hungarian MOL, Bulgarian Bulgargaz, Romanian Transgaz, Turkish Botas and the German RWE.
The gas, which will be produced during the second stage of Shah Deniz field development, is regarded as the main source for Nabucco project. Azerbaijan is going to deliver 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Europe under Shah Deniz-2 project.
On Oct. 1, Nabucco along with the other pipeline projects (TAP, ITGI) submitted their final proposals to the Azerbaijani side, which review them in accordance with previously announced criteria.
