Baku, May 16 (AZERTAC). A week after the launch of the registration phase of the Open Season, shipper interest in registration and capacity booking in the Nabucco West pipeline has already exceeded expectations.

Nabucco has received strong interest from variety of shippers, including potential shippers not part of Nabucco, the Shah Deniz consortium or its buyers.

Reinhard Mitschek, CEO of NABUCCO Gas Pipeline International GmbH said: “We are very pleased at the sustained interest in the Open Season from potential shippers. The high levels of interest clearly show the demand for the opening of the Southern Gas Corridor connecting European markets to Caspian gas, and also for Nabucco, as the flagship project of the Southern Gas Corridor.”
