Power of Siberia More than 95% Complete
Russia’s Gazprom October 26 said that more than 95% of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline is complete.
“2064 km of pipes are welded and laid in the section of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline from Yakutia to the Russian-Chinese border, which is 95.5% of its length,” Gazprom said.
The Power of Siberia gas pipeline will carry gas from the Irkutsk and Yakutia gas production centres to consumers in Russia’s Far East and China. In 2014, Gazprom signed a 30-year contract with CNPC for the supply of 38bn m3/yr of gas via the pipeline. First gas is expected to flow into China at the end of 2019.
