Background

In January 2022, the construction of the gas pipeline pipes commenced. The construction was expected to be completed in 2023.

The pipeline is to supply gas to an LNG plant and a gas processing facility in Ust-Luga to produce LNG and other products such as polyethylene.

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the sanctions and the withdrawal of partners, including Linde GmbH, may have delayed the project. Russia is considering alternatives such as domestic turbines or partnering with China. As of July 2023, the status of the project is uncertain, with the latest update in December 2022 claiming that the LNG plant was in construction.

With the Nord Stream pipelines mothballed, there is a surplus of gas in the region, which may also lead to a delay for the Gryazovets-Volkhov Gas Pipeline.

In February 2024, testing of the road surface was performed on the pipeline indicating that the construction was nearing completion.
