Nabucco... Hintergründe...

"Things did not go as planned for the shareholders. At first the United States-led embargo on Iran made it practically impossible for them to build a pipeline passing from the Iranian territory to reach Turkey and then further west. Secondly, in order not to lose its upstream advantage, Russia had a deal with Turkmenistan to buy all of its existing reserves.
That was not a good time for Nabucco executives; there was a pipeline project with no gas to fill it. Yet an agreement was signed in 2004 between Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary and Austria companies with equal shares. The Americans were encouraging them by saying that the invasion of Iraq started, which in 2003 was going to end with success soon, and they could use rich gas fields there to bring Nabucco back to life.
In the meantime a pipeline crossing the Black Sea under water was constructed and started pumping Russian gas to the Turkish port of Samsun in 2005. It is called the Blue Stream project and together with the Western Route (passing through Ukraine, Romania and Bulgaria) that was a second tie to increase Turkish electricity production to Russian gas.
Vladimir Putin, Russian president, then told Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan that they could actually built the Southern Corridor through Turkey to meet the European needs and even fill Nabucco; a great irony, since the idea of Nabucco was an alternative to Russian offerings.
Then something more interesting happened. After retiring from being chancellor of Germany, Gerhard Schroder started to work for Gazprom and in the Northern Corridor project to pump more Russian gas to Europe. (Nobody could rely on the possibilities in Moammar Gadhafi’s Libya then.)
Now Nabucco is seeking its future in Azeri gas. If they can convince the Shah Deniz Consortium (BP and Norway’s Statoil having more than half of the shares and with a small Russian Lukoil presence), then Nabucco can live.
