Background

The pipeline allowed to bypass the territory of Ukraine when deliveries gas to consumers in the Rostov, Krasnodar and Stavropol Oblast of Russia. EEGA (East European Gas Analysis), a consulting company that specializes in cost-benefit and financial analysis of natural gas projects in the former Soviet Union, claimed that the Sokhranovka-Oktyabrskaya gas pipeline was one of Gazprom's political projects with little economic sense: "The gas monopolist has invested, according to the most conservative estimates, more than a billion dollars in order to deprive Ukraine of a small transit income. The benefits of the project are highly questionable, as Gazprom's additional operating costs will significantly exceed the costs of transit through Ukraine."
