Gazprom’s group of experts led by Alexander Ananenkov, Deputy Chairman of the Company’s Management Committee has finished its business trip to the Far East.
Wednesday the Company’s employees visited Gazprom’s gas transmission facilities under construction in Vladivostok. A meeting dedicated to gas supply and gasification of the Far East and first of all – the Primorsky Krai took place.
It was highlighted at the meeting that construction of the Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok gas transmission system (GTS), a key element of the Unified Gas Supply System in Eastern Russia was nearing completion. At the moment, trenching and burying of the linepipe within the GTS first startup complex is close to completion.
The linepipe of the gas trunkline with the length exceeding 1,100 kilometers has passed the robustness test. Natural gas is being fed to the gas pipeline sections stretching for more than 800 kilometers (process operation preceding the GTS commissioning).
Startup operations have been successfully performed at the gas distribution station (GDS) in Vladivostok. The inter-settlement gas pipeline connecting the GDS to the Russky Island with a lateral to CHPP-2 in Vladivostok is ready for gas supplies: the gas pipeline is constructed including the first string of the submerged crossing under the Eastern Bosphorus Strait. Construction of the gas pipeline from a gas distribution station to CHPP-1 with a lateral to the Severnaya boiler house is underway.
Based on the meeting results, the tasks were given to ensure timely delivery of Gazprom’s investment projects in the Far East.
