Background
The pipeline control and maintenance is carried out by Gazprom. In the fall of 2014, the gas pipeline was put into operation in the reverse mode, that is, gas was delivered in the opposite direction. Thus, Gazprom started supplying gas to the southern regions of Kazakhstan.[2]
The pipeline has two operating branch pipelines (CS 14-Aktobe I and II) to the city of Aktobe, Aktobe Region, Kazakhstan, which is also supplied by gas from the Zhanazhol-Aktobe Gas Pipeline. In winter of 2023, they were operating at 170% of the of capacity. The pipeline start
In July 2023, construction of the third branch pipeline (CS 14-Aktobe III) commenced and is expected to end in 2025. According to the construction company, the pipeline will be built earlier - in 2024.[3] From the connection point at 1,387 km on the Bukhara-Ural main gas pipeline, the gas pipeline route runs within the same technical corridor as the existing two branches of the CS-14-Aktobe I and II gas pipelines up to 123 km and the 10 kV power line. It then bypasses the Aktobe Reservoir from the southern side within the technical corridor of the pipeline to the Alga Gas Distribution Station up to the valve station at 136 km of the existing two branches of the CS-14-Aktobe gas pipelines with a diameter of 530 mm.[4] As of August 2024, the construction is in progress. The project is expected to be completed in 2025.[13]
