Background

The development of the gas industry in Belarus began in 1960 in the city of Minsk after the completion of the Dashava-Ivatsevichy-Minsk Gas Pipeline, which stretched 660 kilometers. Subsequently, gas supplies to Belarus were provided from the northern fields of the Tyumen region in Russia. Between 1974 and 1985, an extensive network of main gas pipelines was constructed, including three lines of the Torzhok-Minsk-Ivatsevichy pipeline, 453 kilometers long (on the territory of Belarus), with branches to Mogilev, Gomel, Klimovichi, Bobruisk, Vitebsk, Grodno, and Molodechno.

Minsk-Gomel Branch Gas Pipeline

The pipeline connects to Shchors-Gomel Gas Pipeline, which was built in 1961 and supplied gas to Belarus from Ukraine. The pipeline connects to the Dashava-Kiev-Moscow Gas Pipeline. As of September 2024, it is unclear if the pipeline is operating.
