Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok GTS construction enters its final stage, Gazprom

Release Date: 2010-11-13

The 1,000-kilometer string of the Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok gas transmission system (GTS) was welded making up some 75% of the first GTS start-up complex. This is the final stage of Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok pipeline construction.

“The tight construction schedule Gazprom adheres to stems from a strategic role the GTS plays. Sakhalin – Khabarovsk – Vladivostok is to become the first interregional gas transmission project in the Far East that will directly connect the Sakhalin gas production center with the consumers from Khabarovsk and Primorsky Krai providing them with secure gas supplies.

The project will lay the groundwork for large-scale gasification of the entire Far East triggering the development of the regional energy, industry and municipal housing”, noted Alexander Ananenkov, Deputy Chairman of Gazprom Management Committee.
