A consortium to examine Bulgaria’s route for the South Stream gas conduit

Gazprom and the Bulgarian Energy Holding (BEH) entrusted the study of the Bulgarian section of the South Stream gas conduit to a consortium, including the companies YuzhniiGiproGaz, based in Donetsk, Ukraine and Bulgaria’s Gastec BG, Gazprom announced, quoted by RIA Novosti.

The South Stream pipeline will reduce the dependence on gas supplies from transit countries like the Ukraine. Part of the conduit will pass under the Black Sea in Turkish territorial waters and will link the Russian and the Bulgarian coast. The pipeline will be about 900 km long and its maximum depth - more than 2 km. In 2010, Moscow and Sofia signed a road map, Gazprom reminded. The gas pipeline should be commissioned in 2015.
