Gazprom PJSC said it has continued the expansion of its trunkline capacity across the country, as well as renovated “locked” gas distribution stations, to ensure high reliability of gas supplies to Russian consumers.
According to the company, in 2022–2023, it built some 3,000 kilometers (1,865 miles) of linear parts of gas trunklines and gas pipeline branches, over 80 gas compressor units with an aggregate capacity of 1,800 MW and more than 130 gas distribution stations (including renovated and re-equipped ones), which are now brought into operation or planned to be put onstream.
The Power of Siberia gas pipeline is fully operational in eastern Russia, facilitating gas supply and infrastructure expansion in the areas along its route, according to Gazprom. Natural gas is now being delivered to boiler houses and enterprises. The pipeline is currently undergoing expansion, including the construction of loopings and increased compressor capacities, the company said.
Gazprom added it is also working on enhancing the capacities of the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok gas pipeline to meet the rising demand for gas in the Primorye and Khabarovsk territories.
To increase gas supplies to the northwest of Russia, Gazprom said it is commissioning new compressor capacities for the northern gas transmission corridor. Additionally, data collection is underway for designing the Volkhov-Murmansk gas trunkline. Construction of the Pochinki-Anapa gas pipeline is in progress to serve existing and future consumers in the Southern Federal District, it said.
The company also said it is focusing on the re-equipment and reconstruction of gas distribution stations with fully utilized capacities. This helps increase the capacity of gas distribution stations and connect new consumers to these facilities. In 2023, the capacities of 74 such stations were expanded, Gazprom said.
The company’s management committee has approved the 2024-2028 comprehensive program for the reconstruction and re-equipment of its gas transmission facilities, Gazprom said.
