On 28 June 2013 the Shah Deniz Consortium (SDC) took a historic decision that put an end to a decade-long pipeline race to bring Central Asian gas to Europe. SDC, led by BP, decided that the surplus natural gas produced in the Azerbaijani Shah Deniz II field was to be transported to Europe through the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP). The big loser was Nabucco, a project that the European Commission once considered ’strategic’ for the opening of the Southern Gas Corridor.Nabucco was to open the Southern Corridor, one of the six strategic and priority infrastructure actions proposed to ensure that the EU’s gas needs are met by 2020, thus ensuring Europe’s security of supply by diversifying both suppliers and routes. However, Nabucco was never the only option on the table, and its viability was always contested. | |
