Gazprom said the South Stream pipeline across the Black Sea to Europe may cost about 15.5 billion euros ($20 billion).
The offshore part of the link may cost 10 billion euros at current prices, while the onshore section in Europe may cost 5.5 billion euros, the company said in an excerpt from its corporate magazine, published today on its web site.
Gazprom and Eni SpA plan to build a 900-kilometer pipeline across the Black Sea and extend it to southern and central Europe to deliver Russian gas, bypassing transit states such as Ukraine.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
