FACTBOX-Major energy pipelines in central/southern Europe
Feb 22 (Reuters) - Here are some key facts on major oil or gas pipelines in central and southeastern Europe:
* GALSI PIPELINE - The 910 mile (1,350 kn) Galsi gas pipeline could bring up to 10 billion cubic metres a year of Algerian gas to Italy through Sardinia when it opens in 2012. Major shareholders include state-run Algerian gas company Sonatrach, Italian power generator Edison (EDN.MI) and utility Enel (ENEI.MI).
Wintershall, part of Germany's BASF (BASF.DE), has sold its 13.5 percent interest in the project to the remaining partners. Sonatrach now has 41.6 percent, Edison 20.8 percent and Enel 15.6 percent. Other investors are Hera Trading and the Regional Administration of Sardinia.
* PAN-EUROPEAN OIL PIPELINE (PEOP) - Due to start operating in 2012, will connect the Romanian port of Constanta with Trieste in Italy. The 1,400 km (870 miles) long pipeline, worth between $2 billion and $3.5 billion, will supply refineries in northern Italy and central Europe with crude from the Caspian. It will have an annual capacity of 60-90 million tonnes (1.2-1.8 million barrels per day).
* BAKU-TBLISI-CEYHAN PIPELINE - The $4 billion BP -led pipeline was opened in June 2006. It is planned to pump one million bpd of Azeri crude 1,040 miles to Turkey's Ceyhan port in 2008. It is the first pipeline to carry large volumes of crude from the Caspian without going through Russia.
* CASPIAN PIPELINE CONSORTIUM (CPC) - connects Kazakhstan's Caspian Sea oil deposits with Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiisk. Oil loaded at Novorossiisk is then taken by tanker to world markets. Although the CPC pipeline transverses Russia and was developed in conjunction with the Russian government, it was the first to give the Caspian Sea region and Kazakhstan a viable alternative to the Russian dominated northern export routes. Russia has repeatedly blocked Kazakh plans to double the Caspian Pipeline's capacity from the current 700,000 bpd.
* DRUZHBA PIPELINE - Russia's Druzhba (Friendship) oil pipeline starts in Russia's Samara and ends in the northern Adriatic port of Omisalj in Croatia, connecting Germany, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. It has a planned capacity of over 2 million barrels per day (bpd), of which some 1.4-1.6 million bpd go directly to consumers in the European Union, while remaining volumes stay in Belarus.
The 4,023-km (2,500 mile) Druzhba splits into two legs with the bigger one, the northern leg, going to Poland and Germany. The southern leg supplies Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Russia's Transneft operates the pipeline.
One fifth of German supplies arrive via the Druzhba pipeline and these were disrupted in February 2008 when Russian oil major LUKOIL (LKOH.MM) halted oil supplies to Germany in a pricing dispute with importer Sunimex. Continued...
