A few days ago, British Petroleum began filling the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline in Baku, Azerbajan for the first time. The brand new pipeline, which runs from the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli oil field in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea to the Ceyhan terminal on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey via Georgia, has been in the works for a number of years and is expected to pump 1 million barrels of oil a day by 2010. A working group for the project was first formed in 1997 and engineers began designing the new pipeline in 2000. The development consortium, lead by BP and known as the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline Company (BTC Co), is composed of 10 additional partners, including SOCAR (the state oil company of Azerbaijan, TPAO (Turkey), Statoil (Norway), Unocal (USA), Itochu (Japan), Amerada Hess (USA), Eni (Italy), TotalFinaElf (France), INPEX (Japan), and ConocoPhillips (USA). The pipeline runs 1760 km and is designed to have a lifetime of 40 years. The first tanker is expected to be filled in Ceyhan, Turkey later this year for export abroad.Full Text: Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan
