Over 745 kilometers of Bovanenkovo – Ukhta gas pipeline linear part welded up
Gazprom's group of experts led by Alexander Ananenkov, Deputy Chairman of the Company's Management Committee has finished its business trip to the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.
The experts inspected construction sites of the Bovanenkovo – Ukhta gas trunkline system (GTS), a key element of the new gas transmission system intended for gas delivery from Yamal into Russia's Unified Gas Supply System, as well as the Baidaratskaya main compressor station (CS) and some infrastructure facilities.
At the compressor station Alexander Ananenkov moderated a meeting with heads and experts from Gazprom's specialized subdivisions and Yamalgazinvest, Gazprom komplektatsiya, Gazprom transgaz Ukhta, engineering and contracting companies.
The meeting participants gave consideration to the Bovanenkovo – Ukhta GTS construction and the required equipment procurement. Over 745 kilometers of the linear part have been welded up so far. The gas pipeline's first string more than 1,200 kilometers long is to be constructed this year (with backup strings and submerged crossings).
Major equipment has been installed at the Baidaratskaya compressor station. Interior and general utilities are under construction and the station is being prepared for tests.
Construction of another eight stations was initiated: Yarynskaya, Gagaratskaya, Vorkutinskaya, Usinskaya, Itinskaya, Syninskaya, Chikshynskaya and Maloperanskaya. These CSs are to be put onstream in 2012–2013.
Based on the meeting results, Gazprom's specialized subdivisions, subsidiaries and contracting companies were tasked to ensure construction of the Bovanenkovo – Ukhta GTS according to the approved schedule.
