Gas transmission system How is natural gas transported The Power of Siberia trunkline will bring gas from the Yakutia and Irkutsk gas production centers to domestic consumers in the Russian Far East and to China (eastern route). The gas pipeline will run across three constituent entities of Russia: Irkutsk Region, Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), and Amur Region. In future, it may be linked to the Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok gas transmission system (GTS). The name for the pipeline was chosen through a contest. Gas resources exploitation and gas transmission system development in Eastern Russia Enlarged photo (JPG, 1 MB) Technical features The Power of Siberia pipeline is some 3,000 kilometers long (from the Kovyktinskoye field in the Irkutsk Region to the Chayandinskoye field in Yakutia – some 800 kilometers, from the Chayandinskoye field to Blagoveshchensk – some 2,200 kilometers). A section of some 1,000 kilometers from Svobodny (Amur Region) to Khabarovsk may be built to link the pipeline to the Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok GTS. Diameter – 1,420 millimeters. Working pressure – 9.8 MPa (100 Ata). Export capacity – 38 billion cubic meters per year. The pipeline runs through swampy, mountainous and seismically hazardous areas with extreme natural and climatic conditions. All pipes used for the Power of Siberia construction are produced domestically. Power of Siberia gas pipeline route Enlarged photo (JPG, 2 MB) Project implementation In 2012, Gazprom approved a final investment decision on pre-development of the Chayandinskoye field, construction of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline and the Amur gas processing plant near Svobodny. In 2014, Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) signed the Sales and Purchase Agreement for gas to be supplied via the eastern route (Power of Siberia). The 30-year agreement stipulates that 38 billion cubic meters of Russian gas will be annually supplied to China from the Yakutia and Irkutsk gas production centers. The construction of the Power of Siberia’s section from the Chayandinskoye field to Blagoveshchensk started in 2014. It is among priority facilities of the eastern route and will be ready for operation by the end of 2018. First joint welding at Power of Siberia Enlarged photo (JPG, 5 MB) In 2015, Gazprom and CNPC signed the Agreement to design and construct a cross-border section of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline, including its submerged crossing under the Amur River. In September 2016, Gazprom and CNPC signed the EPC contract to construct Power of Siberia’s submerged crossing under the Amur River. Social and economic importance Power of Siberia as a large-scale project will facilitate social and economic development of the Russian Far East, as well as create an environment for more gas supply and related infrastructure, new modern gas processing and gas chemical facilities, better living standards, and a higher level of employment among the local population. The Power of Siberia pipeline will run, inter alia, via southern regions of Yakutia. The pipeline route was selected so as to convey gas to the maximum possible number of localities. Power of Siberia gas pipeline under construction Enlarged photo (JPG, 3 MB) Multicomponent gas from the Yakutia and Irkutsk gas production centers will flow via Power of Siberia to the Amur gas processing plant currently under construction. This plant will be among the largest gas processing facilities in the world. The plant will be used to extract valuable components for the gas chemical and other industries, namely ethane, propane, butane, pentane-hexane fraction, and helium. © 2003–2016 GazpromContact us Accessibility Send...
