Background

The pipeline was included in the gasification program of Gazprom for 2021-2025 for the Primorsky Krai. The construction began in 2021. In March 2022, the project was complete at 38%. The pipeline was expected to be commissioned by the end of 2022. As of July 2023, it is still under construction. The Bolshoy Kamen-Vrangel pipeline will connect to the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok pipeline. It will be delivering gas from Sakhalin to consumers in the Khabarovsk Krai and the Primorsky Krai and to the Nakhodka Fertilizer Pant.

The project was included in the list of "Planned Transmission Gas Pipelines" released by the Ministry of Energy of Russia in May 2015 and revised in March 2024. In June 2024, a tender was published for installation of pile foundations for the construction of the power supply system as part of the project. As of July 2024, there have not been any further updates about the project.
