"Blue Stream-2" may give an opportunity to supply the Middle East, Israel and other countries.
http://www.gazprom.ru/articles/article8606.shtmlMoscow's proposal to connect Israel to the Russian gas pipe was first discussed in middle 90ies, but has gained urgency only after running route under the Black Sea from Russia to Turkey gas pipeline "Blue Stream". Projected capacity of the pipeline - 16 billion cubic meters a year, there were plans to increase capacity to pipe 32 billion cubic meters a year, as well as for the construction of branches in Italy and Israel. Power of the Israeli branch to establish in the first phase from 2 to 5 billion cubic meters a year. Now pipe "Blue Stream" reaches Ankara. For transporting gas to Israel planned to build a branch to land Turkish port of Ceyhan and further - 610 kilometers along the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea to connect with the construction of Israeli gas distribution system.
Preparations for the project already well under way. "During the February visit to Moscow Minister Ben-Eliezer and the head of Gazprom Alexei Miller reached an" agreement of understanding the principles "under which Israel would buy natural gas from Gazprom on a long-term basis. The contract could be awarded for up to 30 years ", - told the correspondent of" Expert "Director General of the Ministry of National Infrastructures Israel Hezi Kugler. According to him, "Gazprom" is already preparing a feasibility study project. A similar document will present and the Israeli side. It is expected that work will be completed as early as this year. "We must also conclude a" memorandum of understanding. " On this issue, I maintain contacts with Deputy Miller Mr Medvedev.

The Israeli Governmenthe project has already drafted such a document and will soon be sent to Russian authorities ", - says Mr. Kugler.

The Israelis expect to connect to the pipeline Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline from old Eilat to Ashkelon, built jointly with Iran at the end of 60ies.As said Mora Amita, the pipeline is still formally jointly owned by Tehran and Jerusalem, and this problem is a subject of proceedings in international arbitration. Currently, Eilat-Ashkelon pipeline is able to work in reverse mode and transfer oil from the port of Ashkelon on the Mediterranean Sea to the port of Eilat on the Red Sea. Its capacity, according to Mr. Shahora, is 20 million tons of oil a year, but if necessary, transfer volumes may rise to 40 and even up to 60 million tons. At present, on the pipeline are sporadic deliveries of small quantities of oil, what is incomparable with it´s capacity.

He also said that the pipeline design capacity reaches 40 million tons annually. According to Israeli Minister, Azerbaijan, which seeks to supply oil to Eastern markets, has already expressed interest in the project.
