BASF-owned Wintershall is reported to have said that the feasibility study is for a 1,500-km line starting at the Hassi R’Mel gasfield in Central Algeria and running via the Italian island of Sardinia to Pescaia, near Grosseto, on the Italian mainland. Pescaia lies on the coast around 100km south of Florence. About one- third of the line would be underwater. Wingas, the Gennan gas pipe network owned 65% by Wintershall and 35% by Russia’s Gazprom, is extending further into Southern Germany,and could presumably take gas from the new system.
