Talk:Trans-Caspian Oil Transport System

Question
Can somebody explain how this pipeline is going to "bypass Russia"? Will it go through Turkmenistan and Iran? Then it will be far more than 700 km. Voyevoda 09:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * If constructed, it will be offshore pipeline on the seabed of Caspian Sea. However, it's not possible to build any offshore pipeline before settlement of Caspian disputes.Beagel 16:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * "Russia will never allow the trans-Caspian to run through its portion of the sea. This creates a huge problem for construction, because the portion of the Caspian that is easiest to build through will belong to Russia. If the line only went through the Kazakh and Azerbaijani portions of the sea, it would have to run as deep as 3,363 feet -- not an easy task. This means if the Europeans were to build the line, it would cost much more than the initially estimated $5 billion".

I'm not sure where you got the info as to having to run as deep as 3,363 feet as a quick look on the Britannica website shows a map with seabed contours there is one spot where the sea goes that deep but they would have to go out of their way to hit that point and a quick eyeball of it, it would be quite easy to put a route where it would have to go no deeper than 500m (aprox 1500ft).
