Operated by British Petroleum, the BTC is the second longest oil pipeline in the world. This video follows the BTC as it winds its way across 249km of rugged, beautiful Georgian countryside, from the Azeri border to the Turkish border.

The corridor visible in these pictures is 8m wide. Except for two short segments, rendered here as a "best guess" in lighter pink, the route is clearly visible in 2006 Google Earth satellite imagery.

To make it more visible, I've represented the corridor as a 10m fence along its length. The actual pipeline is buried at least a meter deep, with little visible at the surface except disturbed soil, erosion control earthworks, and pumping stations. The pipeline is both an incredible engineering accomplishment and a stark reminder of the stakes of war in the Transcaucasus.
