| Pakistan's Musharraf pushes for China oil pipeline | | 2008-04-14 14:30:00 | | Beijing has stood close to Musharraf, who came to power as a general in a coup in 1999, even as he has become increasingly vulnerable since the defeat of allies in February 18 polls.The two countries have explored proposals to use Pakistan as a pipeline corridor, bringing oil and gas from the Middle East to China.Musharraf told students and academics in Beijing that he had raised the idea, which has been mooted for several years, during talks with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao.He said a proposed gas pipeline between Iran and India through Pakistan could be expanded to include China.

| L&T to complete Cairn's crude oil pipeline by June 2009 | | 2008-04-09 23:31:00 | | Engineering and construction major Larsen and Toubro (L&T) on Wednesday said it would complete a 585 km pipeline for evacuation of crude oil from Cairn India’s Rajasthan field by June 2009 in sink with the company’s oil production plans.“We are talking of project completion to merge evacuation of crude that is planned for second half of 2009,” L&T’s president (operations) K Venkataramanan said.Cairn had awarded a Rs600-crore contract to L&T in February for the laying of a heated pipeline for transporting crude oil from Barmer in Rajasthan to Salaya in Gujarat.He said the pipeline would be commissioned by June 2009 and some balance work, including the laying of additional spur lines would be done by December 2009.“There are restoration works of the land that would stretch to end 2009,” he said, adding, the work would not impact transportation of crude oil.Cairn India plans to start pumping crude oil from its Rajasthan field by third quarter of 2009 and a pipeli... | | By: Indian stock markets | | |

| Cairn pipeline another road block | | 2008-03-22 01:54:00 | | Cairn India’s efforts to raise the nation’s crude oil output has hit another roadblock with the Rajasthan government stopping work on a pipeline needed to transport the precious commodity to refiners saying it would result in loss of tax revenues to the state.Though Rajasthan is not opposed to crude oil being taken to refineries outside the state for processing, it fears loss of sales tax, in the form of VAT, revenues if the delivery point of the output from Cairn’s Barmer fields is shifted.The state government has stopped work on giving right of user (RoU) for the pipeline being built to transport the oil to Gujarat coast, official sources said.Cairn has asked the oil ministry to shift the delivery point to Salaya in Gujarat where its proposed Rs 12,000 crore pipeline is to terminate. Shifting of the delivery point will allow Cairn and its 30% partner ONGC to recover the money spent on the pipeline from crude sales. If this is not done, the partners would have to bear the cost t... | | By: Indian stock markets | | |

| SOUTH AMERICA: New pipeline promises to brighten Amazon's future | | 2007-07-29 01:14:00 | | Deep in the middle of the Amazonian rain forest, buses whisk men in orange work suits off to help lay down a pipeline that is today one of the region's most remote energy infrastructure projects.It's enough to make even the most moderate environmentalist blanch.But after years of opposition, a plan to transport gas 400 miles from its source at a clearing called Urucu, passing 80 species of rare orchids on its way to the Amazonas state capital of Manaus, has been met with reserved praise, even from hard-core activists.The project by the Brazilian state-controlled company Petrobras is emerging as a model for reducing environmental and social impact, say many observers. And it comes as dozens of other oil companies are looking to explore an expanse that, while among the world's most biologically diverse, also happens to be the largest unexplored region with hydrocarbon potential after Antarctica.

| SOUTH AMERICA: Plans turn cold for pipeline | | 2007-07-28 19:28:00 | | Plans for a natural gas pipeline stretching from Venezuela to Argentina are frozen because of a lack of political will among the continent's leaders, President Hugo Chavez said Friday. Chavez has championed the pipeline proposal as a means of satisfying the continent's energy requirements for decades to come. The project proposes to carry gas from Venezuela's offshore reserves through Brazil to Argentina, with branches extending to Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay — a 5,600-mile stretch that would be one of the longest gas pipelines ever built. But the project has met with skepticism from energy experts who say it hinges upon political goodwill because it faces economic, environmental and technological challenges.Via: ChronBlogalaxia: Sudamerica,ProyectosTechnorati: Venezuela, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, Chavez, Brasil, Argentina Advertise on The ENERGY DATA WAREHOUSEwww.BajaeNergyBLOG.com... | | By: energy BLOG | | |

| ALASKA: Exxon Mobil loses Alaska pipeline ruling | | 2007-07-28 19:20:00 | | A federal appeals court today rejected an effort by Exxon Mobil Corp. to overturn rules governing access to a potential multibillion-dollar pipeline that would transport natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld Federal Energy Regulatory Commission rules published in 2005 that were designed to give Alaskan energy suppliers the ability to deliver their fuel through pipelines they don't own. Natural gas producers, including Woodlands-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp., were concerned that access to the proposed 3,600-mile pipeline would be limited by the companies building it. Alaska has struggled for decades to get a deal either with North Slope gas producers or independent pipeline companies to build a line that could possibly run from the North Slope through Canada and into the Midwest. A proposed deal between former Alaska Gov. Frank Murkowski and North Slope producers BP, Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips fell ap... | | By: energy BLOG | | |

| RUSSIA: Transneft proposes $5b Eurobond to pay Caspian pipeline debt | | 2007-07-06 01:03:00 | | Russia's state-controlled pipeline operator Transneft has proposed shareholders in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) issue $5 billion in Eurobonds to repay the consortium's debts, a Transneft vice president said Wednesday. Sergei Grigoryev declined to specify parameters for the issue, saying Transneft had only made the proposal at the shareholder meeting Wednesday to help restructure the CPC's debt of about $5 billion. The CPC shareholders will examine the proposal and make a decision within 10-14 days, he said. The Caspian Pipeline Consortium system, designed to pump Russian and Kazakh oil to a terminal on the Black Sea, was commissioned in October 2001 and its current capacity is 30 million metric tons (220 million barrels) of crude per year. Transneft holds a 24% stake in the CPC under a trust agreement with the Russian government. Grigoryev said shareholders also discussed Transneft's proposal to raise oil transit rates from $24.6 to $38 per metric ton, but according to pre... | | By: energy BLOG | | |

| EUROPE: Lithuania Seeks Freedom From Russia's Oil-Pipeline `Friendship' | | 2007-07-03 12:10:00 | | Among the pine forests of north- eastern Lithuania, a dried-up oil pipeline called Druzhba -- Russian for friendship -- has become a symbol for the increasingly hollow relations between the Baltic states and Russia. A year ago, a reported leak on Russian territory blocked the flow of oil into AB Mazeikiu Nafta, the only refinery in the three former Soviet republics. While deliveries have stopped before at politically tense moments, this time the refinery didn't wait for the leak to be fixed. It now pays more to buy oil off tankers from Russia -- and from as far away as Venezuela. Weaned from the pipeline, the last vestige of a communist centralized system that once provided life-support, Lithuania is exploring other ways to reduce its dependence on the world's largest energy supplier. The new liberation is a sequel to the political independence it won 16 years ago. ``It is a very dramatic breakthrough for Lithuanian society,'' s... | | By: energy BLOG | | |
