South Stream will supply gas from Russia to Bulgaria under the Black Sea, and then divide into two branches - first to go through Greece to southern Italy and second in Serbia and Hungary to Austria. Parameters of the project include transportation of natural gas in the volume of 63 billion cubic meters a year. It is planned to reach the predicted capacity by 2023. "Infrastructure for the project will be established no later than 2017" - said Leonid Chugunov.
The Director General of Peter Gaz Oleg Sergeyev, who also took part in a press conference, said that the Russian onshore section of the transport system will be called the Southern Corridor. Length of the route will be 2446 km, including 811 km which will go through Krasnodar region. The pipelines will also go through Voronezh, Volgograd, Rostov, Nizhny Novgorod, Penza and Saratov regions and Mordovia. The starting point will be the compressor station (CS) Pochinki where the fuel comes from Urengoy and Yamburg through the Urengoi - Uzhgorod, Urengoi - Center, Yamburg - Elec and Pochinki - Gryazovets pipelines.
Finish point will be the COP Russkaya, an offshore pipeline in the area of Anapa. Gas will be transported there through the "Western" direction (Petrovsk - Kalach - Pisarevka - Sokhranovka - Berezanskaya) and "Eastern" direction (Pochinki - Petrovsk - Frolovo - Izobilnoye - Salskaya - Berezanskaya). To do so, the first phase is construction of a new section of the COP Pisarevka to the Black Sea coast and a jumper from the COP Kuban gas pipeline Blue Stream to the COP Korenovskii. After carrying out these operations 31.5 billion cubic meters of gas can be pumped annually. The next stage is the expansion of gas pipeline and construction of a new section of the COP Pochinki to the coast of Black Sea in the corridor Pochinki - Izobilnoye - North Stavropol underground gas storage facility. Then you can carry is 63 billion cubic meters.
In the framework of the project the construction of 10 COP with total capacity of 1,500 MW is expected. The largest will be the project of Russian plant near Anapa with the capacity of 420 MW. All preparatory and design work should be completed by September of 2012, and construction itself will begin no later than October. The due date of commissioning of the first of four gas pipelines thread is the end of 2015. As reported by Regnum.
