Socar: Nabucco still option to transport Azeri gas to Europe
Nabucco gas pipeline project`s original concept is still an option to transport Azerbaijani gas to European markets, Azerbaijani state energy firm Socar`s Vice President Elshad Nasirov told Die Presse, Reuters reported.
``For us Nabucco is still an option because the proposed alternative Trans Anatolian (TANAP) pipeline through Turkey is so far just a concept,`` Nasirov said.
Last week energy giant BP`s official representative said that the original concept of Nabucco gas pipeline project is no longer considered as a possible export route for Azerbaijani gas. According to him, the partners on Azerbaijani Shah Deniz gas condensate field development are now considering only two options to transport gas - Nabucco West, which is a shorter version of the original project, and the South East Europe Pipeline (SEEP).
``We informed BP that we do not agree with this comment. BP
apologized and described the comment as a private opinion,``
Nasirov said.
