Baku-Ceyhan Is Ready To Transport Oil

The pipeline which passes through Georgia to the Turkish port of Ceyhan is to open today, and the ceremony will be held in Azerbaijan.

The $3.6bn pipeline of 1600 km length has been built by a consortium of oil companies led by BP. It has been constructed more than 10 years.

The oil will come on shore from the Caspian Sea. The pipeline will carry up to a million barrels a day to west, gushing underneath miles of rugged terrain.
