The 600-700 million deutschemark ($360-420 million) project involves a 280 mile pipeline from Hamburg through Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt to serve increased demand for products in eastern Germany. The start-up is scheduled for 1994-95. Shell said that the consumption of oil in the former states of East Germany is expected to double to about 480,000 b/d
