Construction of Phase 1 of the 858 mile, 48-in. Gazoduc Maghreb Europe (GME) was complete by the middle of October. Initial design of the line called for it to take gas from Algerian oil and gas fields, through Morocco, across the Strait of Gibraltar, into Spain. Subsequent gas contracts have warranted an extension, currently under construction, from Cordoba, Spain, into Portugal. The section from Cordoba to the Spain-Portugal border has been essentially completed as well as the transmission lines in Portugal. The only missing link remains the section across the border which is to be completed by year end. Commercial operation all the way through Portugal is due in first quarter 1997. The paper discusses the background, the four phases of construction, and the auxiliary systems of this pipeline.
