Power of Siberia construction launched
Yakutsk hosted celebrations dedicated to welding the first joint of the Power of Siberia gas transmission system (GTS) meant to be a crucial element of the gas supply system being built in eastern Russia. The GTS will convey gas from the Yakutia and Irkutsk gas production centers to the Far East and China.

The attendance was comprised of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zhang Gaoli, First Vice Premier of China's State Council, Yury Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, Wang Dongjin, Vice President of China National Petroleum Corporation and Yegor Borisov, Acting Head of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

The Power of Siberia gas pipeline will run nearly 4,000 kilometers through five Russian constituent entities: the Irkutsk Region, the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the Amur Region, the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Khabarovsk Territory and have an annual capacity of 38 billion cubic meters of gas. By late 2018, a 2,200-kilometer pipeline section will be built to connect the Chayandinskoye field in Yakutia to the city of Blagoveshchensk on the Russian-Chinese border. It also planned to build sections from the Kovyktinskoye field in the Irkutsk Region to the Chayandinskoye field (around 800 kilometers) and from the town of Svobodny in the Amur Region to the city of Khabarovsk (around 1,000 kilometers). In this way, Power of Siberia will be connected to the Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok GTS.

“Today the first joint of the unique Power of Siberia gas transmission system has been welded. The cutting-edge gas production and processing facility and thousands kilometers of gas pipelines will secure first gas supplies in as little as four years.

Gazprom is entering a totally new gas market of China. In full compliance with our contractual obligations, Chinese consumers will receive 38 billion cubic meters of gas every year.

Great in all senses, this project has boosted the development of entire industries of the Russian economy: metallurgy, pipe production and machine building. Power of Siberia opens up new opportunities for gasification of eastern Siberia and the Far East. Due to this project thousands of new jobs will be created, accommodation and social infrastructure will be constructed.

Gazprom timely and fully performs its obligations in any area of its activity. It always ensures reliability of gas supplies to its consumers. The same will be true for the Power of Siberia project,” said Alexey Miller.

About Gazprom and Power of Siberia

Gazprom is consistent in carrying out its activities in western Siberia and the Far East while implementing the state-run Eastern Gas Program. The Company faces the strategic challenge to build up the state-of-the-art gas network and to subsequently connect it with the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia. Gas production centers have already been set up in Sakhalin and Kamchatka, the Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok GTS has been constructed and intensive works are underway at the fields of Yakutia and the Irkutsk Region.

On May 21, 2014 Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corporation signed the Purchase and Sale Agreement – the biggest one in the national history – for the Russian pipeline gas supply to China. The 30-year contract stipulates gas supplies in the amount of 38 billion cubic meters of gas per year. Over 1 trillion cubic meters of gas will be supplied during a whole contractual period.

Gazprom Transgaz Tomsk, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gazprom, is a construction project owner of the Power of Siberia GTS, and VNIPIgazdobycha is a general design contractor.

The immense gas fields of Russia's East will mainly feed Power of Siberia. The aggregate gas reserves (C1 and C2) of the Chayandinskoye and Kovyktinskoye fields amount to some 3.95 trillion cubic meters. Such reserves will allow producing 60 billion cubic meters of gas per year, which is comparable with the amount of natural gas consumed by a big European country like Italy.

The gas deposit pre-development in the Chayandinskoye field will start in 2015; Gazprom will start gas production in the end of 2018. It is here where for the first time in Russia the membrane helium separation technology will be commercially applied right on the spot. This technology will make it possible to convey the required amount of helium into the gas pipeline.

Along with gas transmission and production facilities, Gazprom is going to build ones for processing multicomponent gas from the eastern fields. The first train of the Amur Gas Processing Plant to strip valuable components (helium and ethane, for instance) from natural gas will be commissioned in 2018 near Svobodny.

The areas of Power of Siberia's routing feature complex geological and climatic conditions. Therefore, it requires reliable and efficient design concepts, energy-saving technologies and state-of-the-art line pipe monitoring systems. Among such applications are home-manufactured longitudinally welded pipes made of cold resistant steel K60 with external anti-corrosion and smooth internal coating, 1,420 millimeters in diameter and 21.7 millimeters of wall thickness, designed for 100 Ata operating pressure. In the areas of tectonic faults and intense seismic activity higher than eight points the GTS will be made of high strength pipes.

In late July 2014 first pipes were delivered to Yakutia to build Power of Siberia's section from the Chayandinskoye field to Lensk. Over 120 thousand tons of pipes will be delivered in 2014. Between 2014 and 2018 the project will need more than 1.700 million tons of pipes.

About Gazprom

Gazprom is a global energy company. Its major business lines are geological exploration, production, transportation, storage, processing and sales of gas, gas condensate and oil, sales of gas as a vehicle fuel as well as generation and marketing of heat and electric power.

Gazprom views its mission in reliable, efficient and balanced supply of natural gas, other energy resources and their derivatives to consumers.

Gazprom holds the world’s largest natural gas reserves. The Company’s share in the global and Russian gas reserves makes up 18 and 72 per cent respectively. Gazprom accounts for 14 and 74 per cent of the global and Russian gas output accordingly. At present, the Company actively implements large-scale projects aimed at exploiting gas resources of the Yamal Peninsula, Arctic Shelf, Eastern Siberia and the Far East, as well as hydrocarbons exploration and production projects abroad.

Gazprom is a reliable supplier of gas to Russian and foreign consumers. The Company owns the world’s largest gas transmission network – the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia with the total length of over 168 thousand kilometers. Gazprom sells more than half of overall produced gas to Russian consumers and exports gas to more than 30 countries within and beyond the former Soviet Union.
