Saint Petersburg hosted today a meeting moderated by Alexander Ananenkov, Deputy Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee and dedicated to designing and construction of the Ukhta – Torzhok, Pochinki – Gryazovets, Gryazovets – Vyborg, SRTO – Torzhok gas pipelines and linear compressor stations as well as to expanding the Gryazovets gas transmission hub.

Taking part in the meeting were heads and experts from Gazprom's specialized subdivisions, subsidiaries, engineering and contracting companies.

The meeting participants noted the high rate of construction activities on building up the gas transmission capacities in Northwestern Russia.

Namely, mounting and startup operations as well as pressure tests of three gas pumping units with the total capacity of 75 MW were performed at the Gryazovetskaya compressor station (CS) –a key facility of the Gryazovets gas transmission hub. Thus, the total capacity of the compressor stations now reaches 339 MW. The three new units are required for gas transmission over the Gryazovets – Vyborg gas pipeline.

Linepipe loopings construction is carried on at the Gryazovets – Vyborg gas pipeline. Construction of the compressor shops scheduled for commissioning this year is being completed at the Volkhovskaya CS making part of the gas pipeline system. Startup operations are underway at the Elizavetinskaya and Babaevskaya CSs.

75 per cent of the Pochinki – Gryazovets linepipe have been welded and trenched. Construction and mounting activities are underway at the Vyaznikovskaya CS while the Ivanovskaya and Lukoyanovskaya CSs undergo startup operations.

Construction of the Sindorskaya, Urdomskaya, Nyuksenitskaya CSs that will make part of the SRTO – Torzhok gas pipeline is carried on.

Previously, Gazprom's expert group headed by Alexander Ananenkov visited the Portovaya CS construction site located on the Baltic Sea coast near Vyborg, Leningrad Oblast.

So far, hydraulic testing to check up the junction point durability has been completed as well as testing of the gas treatment unit to feed gas into Nord Stream. Gas from the Gryazovets – Vyborg gas trunkline was supplied to the junction point. All the units and facilities of the station ensuring gas supply to Nord Stream are ready for operation.

Based on the meeting results, specialized subdivisions, subsidiaries and contracting agencies were given the tasks aimed at timely implementation of gas transmission projects in Northwestern Russia.
