"One of the most keenly fought battles in European energy politics has drawn to a close, after a key shareholder in the Nabucco West pipeline said the project had not been chosen to supply gas to Europe.

The BP-led consortium that is developing the huge Shah Deniz II gasfield off the coast of Azerbaijan, which will supply the gas, had been due to announce on Friday which of the two projects it had chosen."
