thank you"Wiz" "She has good article but it’s in polish; unless Lukasz would like to put some of it in English or she will see if this can be translated. Let’s get back to Oil/Gas situation. This wouldn't be a problem if Kremlin would stop acting irrational and stop their animosity towards Warsaw. There are also financial difficulties that need to be iron out. You also don't want to go over territories with political instability which could further derail project. Kazakhstan could be an answer however it also could create headaches. What we have is strategic impasse and these folds well with Kremlin Strategic Energy document release in 2003 which outlines Kremlin energy policies towards 2020. Hopefully animosity can be put aside and something can be workout between these two Kremlin and Warsaw."+

"Wiz if you need help in translation of this map let her know, I can't speak for Lukasz; though I would think he would help you as well" thank you"Wiz"

Thanks to anonymoussierra and Lukasz for the oil pipeline map. These are enough for me to imagine about the oilpipeline from the east into Europe, and I didn't meant to go in depth about the details so don't mind for the translation. It seems that there are various projects and the idea to connect pipeline from Bulgaria was needless with all these piprline projects proposed and benifit Poland.

By the way, I have noticed the Unocal that is attracting attention for China to purchase the firm was also involved in the investment of oil pipeline project in the Caucusus region (Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey) from Caspian Sea. China might be also targeting the oil pipeline projects in Central Asia heading west for its own purpose. I hope similar case would not happen to the pipeline projects toward Poland, which could allow China to politically influence the East European countries for having dominance over the pipeline. Oil Piepleine projects, Central Asia, East Europe, China, Russia, Unocal, Gasprov, I never had expected that all were connected by dots like this.
