The planned Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline is intended to deliver Central Asian gas to the EU via Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, bypassing Russia and Iran. There are several major obstacles on the path of the project: an Azeri-Turkmen dispute over the division of the Caspian shelf, the opposition of Russia and Iran to the investment, uncertainty about funding and unclear prospects for the Nabucco pipeline, which would receive most of the gas from the Trans-Caspian pipeline.
