Early in 1983, natural gas from Algeria will begin flowing to the industrial region of northern Italy through the 1550-mile trans-Mediterranean, intercontinental pipeline. The line consists of a single 48-in. trunkline along the land routes and three 20-in. lines crossing the sea and the Strait of Messina (between Sicily and Italy). Its compressor capacity totals 120,000 hp in Algeria, 242,500 hp in Tunisia, 82,500 hp in Sicily, and 75,200 hp in Italy. The pipeline will carry some 465 billion CF/yr under a 25-year contract between SONATRACH and Italy's EnteNazionale Idrocarburi. Construction of the line is finished from Algeria through Sicily; completion of the 653-mile mainland section is set for late 1982.
