Strategy of Power of Siberia,

Gazprom is implementing the strategic task aimed at building up the upstream sector. Promising fields are to be developed simultaneously with the comprehensive and synchronized upgrade of gas production, transmission, processing and storage capacities. In particular, the Northern Tyumen Regions (SRTO) – Torzhok gas trunk line is being built today in order to withdraw additional gas volumes from the Nadym-Pur-Taz region.
The SRTO – Torzhok gas pipeline will be a crucial element of the multi-line Urengoy – Nadym – Peregrebnoye – Ukhta – Torzhok gas transmission system which is currently operational. The project is primarily targeted at supplying more gas to consumers in Northwestern Russia and securing gas exports via the Yamal – Europe gas pipeline.

Facts and Figures

The gas pipeline route runs from the Urengoy field in Western Siberia to the town of Torzhok – a node of the Russian Unified Gas Supply System (UGSS).
13 compressor stations (CS) totally generating 968 MW are located along the 2,200-kilometer gas pipeline. Its annual design capacity varies between 20.5 and 28.5 billion cubic meters at various sections.
The pipeline construction started in 1995. Its linear part was brought on stream in 2006.

Current Status

10 CS were constructed with 743 MW of aggregate capacity as at December 31, 2009. Another 3 CS will be brought on stream in parallel with the Bovanenkovo – Ukhta gas pipeline commissioning in 2012.

Gas Transmission system of Power of Siberia,

The Power of Siberia will become a unified gas transmission system (GTS) for the Irkutsk and Yakutia gas production centers and convey gas from these centers to Vladivostok via Khabarovsk.
The Yakutia – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok gas trunk line will be constructed at the first stage, and at the second stage the Irkutsk center will be connected to the Yakutia center by the gas pipeline.
The GTS route will run in parallel with the Eastern Siberia – Pacific Ocean operational oil pipeline, thus enabling to streamline the infrastructure and power supply costs. The GTS route will pass, interalia, through swampy, mountainous and seismically hazardous areas.
The bulk of pipes used in the construction will be domestically manufactured. Some 11,700 experts will be engaged within Phase 1 of the Power of Siberia project and some 3,000 employees will ensure the pipeline's operation.

The GTS received its name following the contest results.

Source of supply of Power of Siberia,

The pipeline will be fed from the Chayanda oil and gas field in Yakutia.^[11] The gas field is expected to be launched in 2019.^[5] Later the Kovykta field, which would come operational by 2021, will be connected to the pipeline.^[5][12] Independent producers may supply up to 25 billion cubic metres per annum (880×10⁹ cu ft/a) of natural gas.^[13]

Route of Power of Siberia

The 3,200-kilometre (2,000 mi) pipeline will start from the Chayanda oil and gas field in Yakutia. It will partly run within an integrated corridor with the second stage of Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean oil pipeline.^[8] In Khabarovsk, it will be connected with the Sakhalin–Khabarovsk–Vladivostok pipeline. Together, these pipelines will feed a planned LNG plant, which will produce liquefied natural gas for the export to Japan, and a planned petrochemical complex in Primorsky Krai.^[8][9][10] Branches toward Northern China are envisaged.

In addition, the project includes 800-kilometre (500 mi) pipeline from Irkutsk to Yakutia.

Technical Description of Power of Siberia

The pipeline is expected to cost 770 billion roubles and the investment in the gas production is 430 billion roubles.^[1] It is expected to be operational by 2019.^[5] Capacity of the 56-inch (1,400 mm) pipeline would be up to 61 billion cubic metres per annum (2.2×10¹² cu ft/a) of natural gas.^[6] 38 billion cubic metres per annum (1.3×10¹² cu ft/a) would be supplied to China.^[5][7]

History of power of Siberia

On 29 October 2012 president Vladimir Putin instructed the general manager of Gazprom to start the construction of the pipeline.^[1] On 21 May 2014, Russia and China signed a 30-years gas deal which was need to make the project feasible. Construction was launched on 1 September 2014 in Yakutsk by president Putin and Chinese deputy premier minister Zhang Gaoli.^[2][3] Construction of the pipeline from Vladivostok to China is expected to start in 2015.^[4]

Installation Of Gas Supply Service

SGM Group of Companies is involved in the national “Program of installation of gas supply in the Russian regions” by JSC “Gazprom” from the very moment of its foundation.

SGM Group of Companies – JSC “Krasnodargazstroy”, JSC “Volgogaz” and JSC “Spetsgazremstroy” have many years’ experience in construction of gas distribution networks in different regions of Russia in challenging climatic and geological conditions and earthquake-prone areas

The geography of construction activities of SGM Group of Companies within the program of installation of gas supply spans all the territory of the RF. That is over 50 constituent entities of the RF in the Central, North-Western, Far Eastern, Siberian, Ural, Volga and North Caucasus Federal Districts

In 2010, SGM Group of Companies constructed and commissioned over 1600 km of gas distribution pipelines. Natural gas is already supplied to the cities and towns through the constructed gas pipelines; heating appeared at large industrial enterprises as well as in houses of individual residents in 54 constituent entities of the RF

During 2011 SGM Group of Companies is off to lay over 2000 km of gas networks in more than 40 constituent entities of the RF. 365 km of inter-towns and intra-towns gas pipelines will be constructed in the Republic of Dagestan; Olympic facilities in Sochi will be supplied with gas on Krasnodar Territory

The general vector of construction of gas distribution networks is shifting to the Far East and Eastern Siberia where the level of gas supply remain low. SGM Group of Companies is directly involved in construction of gas distribution networks in these remote regions. For example, in 2010, there were constructed inter-town gas pipelines to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and YuzhnoSakhalinskaya combined heat and power plant No.1

In 2011 JSC “Spetsgazremstroy”, member of SGM Group of Companies, will complete construction that runs from the gas distribution station in Vladivostok to the consumers on the island Russian with a pipeline-branch to the combined heat and power plant No.2 in Vladivostok. The gas pipeline will supply with heat and power the capital of Primorsky Kray and facilities of the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in 2012

Natural gas coming through the gas pipelines constructed by SGM Group of Companies is not only an improvement of the quality of life for an individual resident but also a possibility to create new production, develop small and medium size business
