Alexey Miller and South Ossetian President Anatoly Bibilov discuss gas supplies and potential expansion of regional gas infrastructure
Background
In April 2010, Gazprom and the Government of South Ossetia signed the Cooperation Agreement until 2029.
In August 2009, Gazprom brought into operation the Dzuarikau – Tskhinval gas trunkline to provide direct gas supplies from the Russian Federation to South Ossetia.
Gazprom developed the General Scheme for gas infrastructure expansion in South Ossetia. The document provides for gas infrastructure expansion in some 200 population centers and the construction of over 520 and 370 kilometers of inter-settlement and intra-settlement gas pipelines, respectively.
