the Transmed pipeline delivers Algerian gas to Slovenia. Tunisia purchases
about 39 Bcf/y, Slovenia's Sozd Petrol is committed to 21 Bcf/y and Italy's
main gas utility, Snam, is under contract to buy 680 Bcf/y until 2018.
Algeria-Morocco-Spain-Portugal
Maghreb-Europe Gas (MEG) Pipeline
The $2.5
billion MEG line, runs 1,013 miles (1,620 kilometers) from Hassi R'Mel
to the Iberian Peninsula via Morocco. MEG is made up of five sections:
324 miles (515 kilometers) from Hassi R'Mel to the Moroccan border, 326
miles (522 kilometers) from the Moroccan border to the Strait of Gibraltar,
28 miles (45 kilometers) across the Strait of Gibraltar at a depth of 1,312
feet, 168 miles (269 kilometers) from the Spanish coast to Cordoba, Spain
where it ties into the Spanish transmission network, and 168 miles (269

Egypt Sumed (Suez-Mediterranean) Pipeline
The Sumed pipeline is an alternative
to the Suez Canal for transporting oil from the Persian Gulf region to
the Mediterranean. The 200-mile (320-kilometer) pipeline runs from Ain

is owned by the Arab Petroleum Pipeline Company, a joint venture between
Egypt (50%), Saudi Arabia (15%), Kuwait (15%), the U.A.E. (15%), and Qatar
(5%). An extension of the pipeline is being studied. This extension would
traverse the Red Sea from Ain Sukhna to the closest point on the Saudi
coast near Sharm al Sheikh, and then continue to link up with the terminal
of Saudi Arabia's main east-west pipeline in Yanbu.
Southern Africa
