Background

The Gubkinsky-Yuzhny Balyk Product Pipeline has a reserve pipeline, although it is uncertain whether it extends along the entire distance of the main pipeline or only covers a portion of it. A major fire occurred on the reserve pipeline in May 2021 due to a defect in the weld seam.

Reconstruction of the pipeline was mentioned in the governmental document "On the approval of the territorial planning scheme of the Russian Federation in the area of federal transportation (gas and oil pipelines)" released by the Ministry of Energy of Russia in May 2015 and revised in August 2024. The document mentions new construction on the pipeline (a reserve pipeline) from Pyt-Yakh (Yuzhny Balyk Gas Processing Plant) to Nizhnevartovsk via Ugut (660-867 km). Based on research, the new project (Gubkinsky-Yuzhny Balyk II Product Pipeline) will allow to increase capacity of the pipeline to 2.66 mtpa in order to accommodate additional volumes of light hydrocarbons which will be coming from the SIBUR's Nizhnevartovsk Gas Processing Plant and Belozerny Gas Processing Plant along the proposed Nizhnevartovsk-Yuzhny Balyk Product Pipeline.

A tender for the construction of the reserve pipeline took place in October 2023. In Fabruary 2024, the project was mentioned in the media as under construction.
