Background

The pipeline was mentioned as a proposed pipeline in Gazprom's 2020 map for its Unified Gas Supply System. The route appears to be an updated version of an expansion of the Power of Siberia Gas Pipeline, which is considered cancelled given no progress since its proposal in 2015. This pipeline, if built, will be an important connector in Gazprom's Eastern Gas Program, linking the Power of Siberia Gas Pipeline with the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok Gas Pipeline in Russia's Far East.

In 2022, the project was mentioned in the media under the name of "Eastern Gas Supply System". In October 2022, it was reported that collection of initial data and engineering surveys had been launched. The construction is expected to be completed in 2029. The Gazprom's 2022 Annual Report lists the pipeline under "Prospective/Under Construction Projects". In March 2023, Russian Energy Minister Nikolay Shulginov said that the Sakhalin–Khabarovsk–Vladivostok pipeline and the Power of Siberia pipeline might be connected in the future in the area of Khabarovsk.

In January 2024, project and survey work was in progress for the construction of the Belogorsk-Khabarovsk Gas Pipeline (referred to as "Phase I" of the "Eastern Gas Supply System" project). The pipeline will span approximately 830 km from the Amur Gas Processing Plant to its connection with the Sakhalin-Khabarovsk-Vladivostok gas pipeline system near Khabarovsk. In March 2024, it was reported that the construction had begun. This pipeline will link the Yakutsk and Sakhalin production centers, enhancing the reliability of gas supply throughout the region. The completion of construction is planned for 2029, however, Gazprom and the Russian Ministry of Energy are working on accelerating the construction of the pipeline.
