Nigeria, Niger and Algeria are set to sign an agreement Friday to launch works for the Trans-Sahara natural gas route, Africa's largest pipeline project by cost, a spokeswoman for Algeria's Energy Ministry said Thursday.

She said Algerian Energy Minister Chakib Khelil "is leaving Thursday for Abuja to sign the intergovernmental agreement Friday. That will relaunch the project."

The European Union recently lent its support to the project - which will pipe Nigerian gas to Europe through Niger and Algeria - seeing it as an element to diversify its supplies away from Russia.

Estimates for the cost of the pipeline have varied from $13 billion to $20 billion, dwarfing Chevron Corp.'s (CVX) $4 billion Chad-Cameroon oil pipeline.

Total SA (TOT) and Eni SpA (E) have expressed interest in joining the Trans-Saharan pipeline project.
