Little Fluor Daniel Giprovostokneft Institute Odessamoregeologia Institute Remarks The project entails the construction of a 1350km pipeline from the giant Tengiz oil field in western Kazakhstan across the Caspian Sea to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk. The pipeline will allow the export of 67m tonnes per year or 1.5m barrels per day from the region. The project has three proposed phases - from Novorossiysk to Kropotkin, a 500km new line from Kropotkin to Komsomolskaya and the refurbishment of the existing line between Komsomolskaya and the Tengiz oil field. The consortium is likely to split into two entities to tackle the Kazakh and Russian sections of the project. The eight production companies are taking 50% equity stake in the project. The governments of Russia, Kazakhstan and Oman have no responsibility for raising the finance for the project. The project is expected to be financed through a mix of balance sheet and external financing. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) is expected to be raising only about $200m through limited recourse financing. A feasibility study endorsed in August 1998 estimated a 6.5% increase in the cost of the project, from $2.1bn to $2.236bn. The approved CPC schedule provides for the start of construction on the first Marine Terminal facility in 1999 and first tanker loading from the pipeline to occur on June 30 2001. Pipeline start-up and commissioning are scheduled to be completed on October 30 1999. Tenders are being held for sub-contractors to provide pipes and telecommunications for the project, to build an oil terminal at the port of Novorossiisk and to build oil pumping stations. Eight tenders have already been filed for the delivery of pipes, including bids from the Volzhsky and Vyksa-based pipe manufacturers. Bids to build the $500m oil terminal are being invited. The terminal will have a handling capacity of 28m tonnes of oil and is scheduled for completion by October 30 2001. CPC is designed to operate the project for 40 years.

November 18, 1998 Towards an East-West Energy Transport Corridor Toward an East-West Energy Transportation Corridor It is a pleasure to be with you today and amongst so many friends and colleagues. Within the short seven-year period since the collapse of the Soviet Union, it has been striking to see the progress made by the Caspian states in developing their energy resources and opening their economies to foreign investors. During the next few minutes, I would like to focus on how joint private-public sector efforts are creating a new East-West energy transportation corridor. CPC and Early Oil Pipelines In all of our work in the Caspian, we have sought to better integrate the region into the international community and to create "win-win" situations in which all countries share a positive interest in and benefit from the outcomes. With respect to energy development, two successes have already resulted from our intensive efforts: the Caspian Pipeline Consortium and the western early oil pipeline. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium, or CPC, pipeline has involved extensive cooperation among oil companies and the governments of the United States, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Oman. We have worked closely with the various governments and companies to restructure the consortium so that equity ownership is proportional to financial contributions. In 1996, Oman and Russia agreed to reduce or transfer their stakes in the project. As a result, companies now own half of the project and are the lead operators of the pipeline. Early this year, we worked again with the Russians and Western partners to help iron out their commercial and operational differences, and to help persuade regional Russian authorities to grant, on reasonable terms, secure rights of way for the pipeline. As a result, this $2.2-billion pipeline project is due to begin construction next year and to come online by 2001. The western early oil pipeline is another example of our successful effort to achieve a "win-win" result for the governments of Azerbaijan and Georgia and the oil companies involved in AIOC. Several years ago, only a pipeline between Baku and Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk existed, and it appeared that AIOC had no other export alternative. We had learned from past experience, though, that any monopoly situation could have unacceptable consequences. Therefore, we strongly supported the idea that a second route might be rebuilt through Azerbaijan to a Georgian port on the Black Sea. Our efforts have paid off. The route through Russia has been shipping AIOC's oil since last year, and the second route through Georgia is due to come online in early 1999. MEP and Trans-Caspian Pipelines These successes are now carrying over to future projects such as the main export pipeline (MEP) and the trans-Caspian pipelines (TCP). At various times during the past five years, observers questioned the viability of the CPC project and the wisdom of creating a western early oil route. They were proved wrong. Likewise, I am confident that critics of both the MEP and trans-Caspian pipelines are unduly pessimistic and will again be proved wrong, especially as both the regional and commercial realities unfold in a positive manner during the coming months and years. 4. НОВОСТИ ИЗ ГРУЗИИ 4.1 "ЗЕЛЕНЫЕ" ПРИВЕТСТВУЮТ СДАЧУ НЕФТЕТЕРМИНАЛА В СУПСА Партия "зеленых" поздравила население Грузии с введением в строй нефтетерминала в Супса. Как отмечается в распространенном этой организацией заявлении, 17 апреля будет вписано в историю Грузии как еще один шаг на пути к политической и экономической безопасности страны. Сдача в эксплуатацию терминала - победа внешней политики Грузии, что позволит древнему Сакартвело укрепить позиции на международном уровне. 4.2 ТБИЛИСИ ОПРЕДЕЛЯЕТ МЕРЫ БЕЗОПАСНОСТИ НЕФТЕПРОВОДА БАКУ-СУПСА Президент Эдуард Шеварднадзе утвердил положение о межведомственной комиссии при Совете национальной безопасности, координирующей меры по обеспечению безопасности грузинского участка нефтепровода Баку-Супса. Вдоль трассы нефтепровода Баку-Супса будут установлены стационарные и передвижные мобильные посты. Информируя об этом, начальник службы госохраны Грузии Сулхан Папашвили отметил, что на трассе нефтепровода будет задействована современная система сигнализации и связи. Дважды в неделю грузинский участок нефтепровода Баку-Супса будут патрулировать вертолеты. Действия по обеспечению надежной защиты трубопроводов будут отрабатываться в ходе намеченных на апрель военных учений с участием стран-членов ГУАМ. Протяженность грузинского участка нефтепровода Баку-Супса - 370 км. По трубопроводу в ближайшее время возможно перекачивать до 5 млн. тонн каспийской нефти. 4.3 США ОДОБРЯЕТ МЕРЫ, ПРЕДПРИНЯТЫЕ РУКОВОДСТВОМ ГРУЗИИ ПО ОХРАНЕ ЭКСПОРТНОЙ ТРУБЫ "Вашингтон готов оказать Грузии помощь в вопросах экологический безопасности" - заявил заместитель помощника госсекретаря США по политическим и военным вопросам Роберт Бикрофт. По его словам, на территории Грузии находится до 1 тыс. тонн неиспользованных химических веществ ракетного топлива, представляющего опасность для жизни людей. Г-н Бикрофт сообщил, что для детального изучения данной проблемы в ближайшее время в Грузию прибудут американские эксперты. Коснувшись вопроса обеспечения безопасности нефтепровода Баку-Супса, американский политик заявил, что правительство США одобряет меры, предпринятые руководством Грузии по охране экспортной трубы. Весьма важными считает г-н Бикрофт военные учения взводов министерств обороны Грузии, Украины и Азербайджана (16-17 апреля, близ Тбилиси) по выработке совместных действий по возможному предотвращению чрезвычайных ситуаций на нефтепроводах. |
