Fooey. Ridiculous stuff, if you read it all. Enron was hired by the oil companies to do a study of the pipeline's feasability. The deal collapsed in August of 01. It was not Enron's deal; they were consultants. It was the oil companies' deal; they were to build the pipeline.
I thought it was UNOCAL and those negotiations collapsed in 1998.
Must have been a deal for a second pipeline. Work began on a pipeline in Afghanistan in the mid-90s. Maybe they didn't think they needed two pipelines. LOL
