In order to ensure that Nabucco and its contractors are able to operate safely in each of the five countries, a general risk assessment of possible Land Mines and UXO contamination needs to be conducted.
The assessment will identify a credible UXO risk and make recommendations on the most effective way to mitigate the risks.
Nabucco envisages gas supplies from the Caspian region and the Middle East to the EU countries. Participants of the project are Austrian OMV, Hungarian MOL, Bulgarian Bulgargaz, Romanian Transgaz, Turkish Botas and German RWE companies. Each of participants has equal share to the amount of 16.67 percent. The project's construction is planned to start in 2013. The pipeline's maximum capacity will hit 31 billion cubic meters per year.
