South East Europe Pipeline

The pipeline was proposed by BP on 24 September 2011 as an alternative to the existing Southern Gas Corridor projects, including the Nabucco pipeline, Trans Adriatic Pipeline, and Interconnector Turkey–Greece–Italy. The pipeline was to use existing pipelines, but also needed 800–1,000 kilometres (500–620 mi) (by other sources 1,300 kilometres (810 mi)) of new pipeline to be laid in different countries. The total route is about 3,800 kilometres (2,400 mi).

On 28 June 2012 the BP-led Shah Deniz consortium announced it will choose between Nabucco West and Trans Adriatic Pipeline as an export option, and accordingly development of the South East Europe Pipeline project will cease.
