BovanenkovoBovanenkovo –– UkhtaUkhta –– TorzhokTorzhok GasGas TransmissionTransmission SystemSystem

The pipeline route length will exceed 2,400 kilometers including the new Bovanenkovo – gas transmission corridor (annual projected capacity – 140 billion cubic meters of gas) some 1,100 kilometers long, and the Ukhta – Torzhok gas pipeline (annual projected capacity – 81.5 billion cubic meters of gas) 1,300 kilometers long.

1,420-millimeter pipes are used for the pipeline construction. The pipes are designed to sustain higher operating pressure if compared to the existing gas pipelines.

The Bovanenkovo – Ukhta gas trunkline system is to be commissioned in the beginning of the third quarter of 2012.

1 NordNord StreamStream

The gas pipeline will run under the Baltic Sea from (in the vicinity of ) to Germany. The annual projected capacity of will amount to 55 billion cubic meters of gas. The pipeline route will stretch for more than 1,200 kilometers. Construction of Nord Stream’s first string will be finalized in 2011. Immediately after that the second string will be launched allowing to increase the pipeline’s throughput capacity from 27.5 to 55 billion cubic meters. In 2012 the second string of the gas pipeline will reach the German coast near the town of Greifswald. 2 GryazovetsGryazovets –– VyborgVyborg GasGas PipelinePipeline

The Gryazovets – Vyborg gas trunkline is designed to convey gas to the Nord Stream gas pipeline and to supply consumers in Northwest Russia. The gas pipeline length is 917 kilometers, diameter – 1,400 millimeters, pressure – 9.8 MPa. Its annual projected capacity amounts to 55 billion cubic meters of gas per annum. The project stipulates construction of seven compressor stations (CS) including the Portovaya CS to be located on the Russian coast of the Baltic Sea in the Portovaya Bay near the town of Vyborg, . 3 DzhubgaDzhubga –– LazarevskoyeLazarevskoye –– SochiSochi GasGas PipelinePipeline

The Dzhubga – Lazarevskoye – Sochi gas pipeline is included in the governmentally-approved Program for the Olympic facilities construction and development of Sochi as a mountain-climatic resort. The gas pipeline will stretch for 177 kilometers including the 159.5-kilometer offshore section. The pipeline route will run on the Black Sea bottom along the coastal line (approximately 4.5 kilometers away from the coast) tothe Kudepsta gas distribution station near the city of Sochi. The 530-millimeter gas pipeline will have the annual throughput capacity of some 3.8 billion cubic meters. The gas pipeline construction was launched in September 2009. In March 2010 construction of the pipeline’s offshore section was initiated in the Black Sea. It is projected to finalize the gas pipeline construction in the second quarter of 2010. 4 SouthSouth StreamStream

The offshore section of the gas pipeline will run on the Black Sea bottom to the Bulgarian coast.

The Black Sea section will have the total length of some 900 kilometers, maximum depth – over two kilometers and projected throughput capacity – 63 billion cubic meters, with only 31 billion cubic meters to be supplied at the first stage.

There are two possible routes under review for the pipeline’s onshore section from Bulgaria: one – to the northwest and the other – to the southwest.

5 ShtokmanShtokman GasGas andand CondensateCondensate FieldField

The Shtokman gas and condensate field development is strategically significant for Gazprom. The field will serve as a resource base for Russian natural gas supply to the Atlantic Basin markets, both via pipelines and in the form of LNG.

The Shtokman gas and condensate field was discovered in 1988. It is located in the central part of Russia’s Barents Sea sector, about 600 kilometers northeast of Murmansk at the sea depth varying from 320 to 340 meters.

The field’s C1 reserves amount to 3.9 trillion cubic meters of gas and 56 million tons of gas condensate, with 3.8 trillion cubic meters of gas and 53.3 million tons of gas condensate located within Gazprom’s licensed area.

On February 21, 2008 Gazprom, Total and StatoilHydro (present Statoil) signed the Shareholder Agreement to set up the special- purpose company Shtokman Development AG. Gazprom holds a 51 per cent stake in the company, while Total and Statoil – a 25 and a 24 per cent stakes accordingly.

6 AltaiAltai ProjectProject

In order to supply gas from Western to China, it is planned to create the new Altai pipeline system along the existing transmission route to be subsequently extended across the mountains to the western section of the Russian-Chinese border.

1,420-millimeter pipes will be used for the gas pipeline construction. The trunkline length will reach 2,622 kilometers. Operating pressure – 7.4/9.8 MPa. 10 CS with aggregate capacity of 896 MW. Projected throughput capacity – 30 billion cubic meters.

7 DevelopmentDevelopment ofof EasternEastern SiberianSiberian andand FarFar EasternEastern ResourcesResources

The Eastern Gas Program stipulates that gas production centers are established in the , the IrkutskIrkutsk ObOblast, the Republic of (Yakutia), the and the Krai. Moreover, simultaneously with the gas production centers and the unified gas transmission system formation, gas processing and gas chemical industries will be devedevellopedoped including the capacities for helium and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production. Thus, gas production and processing industries in Eastern Russia will be developed comprehensively. 8 Gas Supply to Kamchatka

Gazprom is pre-developing the Kshukskoye and Nizhne-Kvakchikskoye fields on the west coast of the . The Company is also constructing the Sobolevo – Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky gas trunkline planned for commissioning in 2010.

Length – 392 kilometers. Diameter – 530 millimeters. Operating pressure – 6.37 MPa. Annual throughput capacity – 755 million cubic meters.

The project stipulates gas distribution networks construction in Petropavlovsk- Kamchatsky.

9 SakhalinSakhalin –– KhabarovskKhabarovsk –– VladivostokVladivostok GasGas PipelinePipeline

The system will supply gas to most of the consumers in the and Primorsky Krais, the and the Sakhalin Oblast.

The Sakhalin I project will be the source of gas in the middle term. The gas pipeline is to secure gas supply to and power generating facilities commissioning in the including those to be used for the 2012 APEC summit purposes.

Length – 1,837 kilometers. Diameter – 1,200 millimeters. Operating pressure – 9.8 MPa. 14 CS with aggregate capacity of 1,291 MW.

The Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok gas transmission system will be commissioned and gas supply to the Primorsky Krai will be started by Gazprom in 2011.
