Project details

Gryazovets-Vyborg I Gas Pipeline

Gryazovets-Vyborg II Gas Pipeline

Background

The Gryazovets-Vyborg I and Gryazovets-Vyborg II gas pipelines are aimed to supply gas to the Nord Stream export underwater gas pipeline and to consumers in the North-West region of Russia, Northwestern Federal District of Russia (Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast).[1][8] Both pipelines source gas from the Yuzhno-Russkoye Oil and Gas Field and run parallel to each other, however, since Gryazovets-Vyborg II pipeline was built in loopings, its total length ended up being smaller than the Gryazovets-Vyborg I pipeline.[5]

Route

Detailed routes of the pipelines were downloaded from OpenStreetMap, Open Infrastructure Map: pipeline I[9]; pipeline II.[10] The pipeline runs from Gryazovetskaya compressor station #17 near Gryazovets to Portovaya compressor station near Vyborg.[1]

Expansion projects

Gryazovets-Volkhov loopings

According to Gazprom, there are plans to construct multiple loops of the pipeline on the segment from Gryazovets to Volkhov.[11] A total of four loops were proposed, 213.2 kilometers long in total:

Segment Length, km
59-121 km 62
219-275 km 56
340.8-386 km 45.2
460-510 km 50

The purpose of building loops is to increase the pipeline's capacity in order to provide more gas to the residents in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast.[11] The project plans were finalized in December 2015, and in August 2016 the plans were approved by the government review committee of the Russian Federation (Главгосэкспертиза России).[11] The project was included in the list of "Planned Transmission Gas Pipelines" issued by the Ministry of Energy of Russia in May 2015 and revised in May 2023. According to the document, the loopings will be built to connect the Gryazovets-Vyborg II Gas Pipeline in order to increase gas supply to the Unified Gas Supply System of the North-West region of Russia.[12]

As of July 2023, there are no updates on the project.
