Fantastic piece Jerome. Almost... uh... makes me wonder how ANY pipelines get built?....
Any thoughts on the current major gas pipelines in the world and who played the role of the 'key player' in each of them?

My guess is that there are very few transnational pipelines outside Europe and N. America that are not:
1) Pipelines that cross only one border, from a producer to a consumer country.
2) Pipelines that were not transnational when built.
For #1, the interests of producer and consumer are fairly easy to align. See, for instance, Russian pipelines to Western Europe.
For #2, I'm thinking of pipelines in the former Soviet Union, or pipelines built in former colonial areas or wholly controlled client states.
