Europe imports around 30% of its oil and gas from Russia. The pipelines between the east and west were originally setup during Soviet times.

Given how stable that has been it seems unlikely that a small African country, who will be getting a big chunk of cash from Europe, would do anything stupid.

They haven't been perfectly stable, though. We've seen since 2005 a few cases of oil and gas prices surging upwards as part of the Russia-Ukraine dispute (in 2005, 80% of all gas from Russia to the EU went through Ukraine).
