The Baltic Pipeline System-2 (BPS-2, ''(ロシア語:Балтийская Трубопроводная Система 2, БТС-2)'') is a second trunk line of the Baltic Pipeline System. The pipeline is constructed and operated by Russian oil pipeline company Transneft.〔〔 〕 The BPS-2 was completed in 2011 and entered in function in late March 2012.〔 〕 == History == The project was proposed after an oil transit dispute between Russia and Belarus at the beginning of January 2007, and was approved by the Russian government on 21 May 2007.〔 〕〔〔 〕 Although in April 2008 Russia's Ministry of Industry and Energy submitted a negative profitability report regarding the pipeline, Russia opted to develop its own infrastructure for exporting hydrocarbons, bypassing former Soviet transit countries. The main goal of the pipeline is to protect Russia and its partners from the transit countries' possible decisions to raise tariffs or siphon off hydrocarbons.〔 〕 On 1 December 2008 Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed a resolution ordering construction.〔 The construction started on 10 June 2009.〔 〕 Construction was completed in October 2011. The opening of export terminal at Ust-Luga was postponed until 2012 due to damage by landslips.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baltic Pipeline System-II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
