Work on 1,100-mile oil pipeline nears end
After two years of construction, workers are welding together and testing with water the last few sections of an 1,100-mile oil pipeline that runs from Azerbaijan through Georgia and Turkey.
Seven huge grey tanks that will each hold one million barrels of oil have been built at Iskenderun Bay in southern Turkey, where an empty loading jetty is being finished, capping off a €16.6bn project that is expected to bring a flood of Caspian crude to hungry world markets.
