We should have a business plan by mid-May

There's been a "business plan" for that oil since old John D. Rockefeller was around.

The project envisages reversing the flow of a Ukrainian pipeline that brings Russian crude to the Black Sea port of Odessa so that it brings Caspian oil instead through Ukraine to Poland and the Baltic sea. ==

Lizol tell me how the Caspian oil wiil reach Odessa. AFAIK Odessa is port on Black sea not on Caspian sea.

If I remember correctly they already imported some Azeri oil, although not too much. There is pipeline from Baku to Supsa in Georgia. Tankers would transport oil to Odessa. So what is the problem? Russian pirates? :)

This project is impossible without Kazakh oil. But Nazarbayev doesn't hurry to transport his oil via Caspian sea, Azerbaijan and Georgia. He prefers Russian pipelines.

Nazarbayev is a smart dictator, I must admit. He is playing on both sides for sure. The most profitable solution for him is diversification. Now is looking how the world treat Aliev of Azerbaijan and see that they are willing to close their eyes for oil deliveries. Such solution would be ideal to Nazarbayev. There is no reasonable cause why would he prefer only Russian pipelines. I’m sure that he dislike monopolistic practices of Russia. Kazakh delegation is present in every meeting about new oil projects, for example on the ceremony of opening Baku-Ceyhan pipeline. In the internet English language Kazakh state owned media outlets I noticed many articles about meetings of Polish or Ukrainian diplomats with their Kazakh counter-partners. Kazakh side always claim to be interested in our project. I believe if they are any problems it is rather on our side…

This project should be finally done, but more countries should be involved. The whole Visegrad group, Romania, maybe Bulgaria and some others. Besides that must be accepted by all main Ukrainian political parties - we can't take a risk that after next elections they will change their mind. Otherwise we should forget about Ukraine and build It in Romania.

"This project is impossible without Kazakh oil."

I think the whole issue is first of all about Azer oil, but there are many others in the neighborhood. Turkmen, Iraq, Iran. Besides Nazarbayev won't live forever and everyone has own price.
