97.01 - Complementary feasibility studies for oil and gas from the Caspian Sea Region to Central and Eastern Europe

Based on the preliminary conclusions of the relevant 1996 project [96.01], this project assesses the feasibility of transporting oil and gas coming from the Caspian sea to the Central and Eastern European Countries. For this purpose, the assessment focused on the utilisation of existing infrastructures after rehabilitation and on the creation of alternative routes supplementing the existing ones, as well as on the development of supporting infrastructure such as storage, dispatching centres and telecommunications. Romania and Bulgaria were also beneficiaries from this project.
