The United Gas Transmission System |
|
|
|
The United Gas Transmission System (UGTS), a sophisticated industrial and technological complex embracing gas producing, processing, transmission and underground storage facilities, is under constant 24-hour control and management of Gazprom’s gas flow dispatching centers. Average gas transmission distance from fields located in the Tyumen region’s northern areas to the most remote European gas importers such as France and Italy exceeds 5,000 kilometers. Under these conditions, gas-dynamic processes in the UGTS pass 5 to 6 days. Thus, the gas transmission control & management optimization system developed and continuously enhanced provides high security of gas supply to both Russian and foreign consumers. Gazprom is the owner of the UGTS, the world’s biggest gas transmission system which provides the Company’s high ranking in international joint projects implemented in the best interests of Russia.

The North – European gas pipeline |
|
|
|
The North – European gas pipeline (NEG) creates principally new route for Russian gas exports to Europe. Project implementation will allow diversifying gas export flows, to directly connect gas network of Russia with the countries of the Baltic region and with the European gas grid. NEG is featured with avoidance of transit states along its route. It decreases sovereign risks and costs of gas transmission, and at the same time prove to enhance reliability of gas export supplies. The gas pipeline will run under the waters of the Baltic Sea from Vyborg to the coast of Germany (in the vicinity to the town of Greiswald). Construction of marine gas pipeline sections to deliver gas to consumers in Finland, Sweden, the Great Britain and other countries is planned in the project. The gas pipeline construction will help promote gas export to Scandinavian countries as well as provide reliable gas supply to consumers of Western Europe, North–West region of Russia and Kaliningrad area, on the background of blue fuel growing demand in the areas. |

The Blue Stream |
|
|
|
Russia--Turkey gas pipeline (the Blue Stream) is the unique gas transmission facility which unparalleled in the world. Thousands of specialists from Russia, Italy and Turkey took part in its construction. Domestic materials and equipment, for first place Italian, German and Japanese, as well as some western manufacturers were involved in construction of the gas pipeline. The Blue stream is intended for deliveries of the Russian natural gas to Turkey going under the Black Sea, avoiding third countries’ issues. The project presumes an additional new way of gas delivery from Russia to Turkey in contrast to gas transportation via the Ukraine, Moldova, Romania and Bulgaria being under operation for years. Deliveries of gas by the Blue stream pipeline will essentially raise reliability of gas supplies to Turkey to develop gas market and gas infrastructure of this country. At a time of construction of the Blue stream pipeline the Gazprom’s strategic partner Italian ENI Company had vast experience in construction of sea gas pipelines and the world's largest pipe-laying fleet. |

WEST – EAST PIPELINE PROJECT |
|
|
|
On the 4th of July 2002, JSC “Gazprom”, Royal Dutch/Shell and ExxonMobil signed a framework agreement in Beijing with Chinese oil and gas company “PetroChina” for the realization of the first trans-Chinese pipeline “West-East Pipeline”. According to the agreement, JSC “Gazprom”, Royal Dutch/Shell and ExxonMobil each will hold 15% of the new JVs’ share capital and PetroChina – 50% and Sinopec 5%. The project is planned for 45 years and stipulates the development of the Tarim gas field in China, construction of the 4,000 km gas pipeline, as well as gas sales and marketing in Eastern regions of China. |
