Background

According to the Russian government order in December 2018 related to land use planning and pipeline transport development, this project was planned to start construction in 2025-2027.

There have been no development updates related to this project since 2018. As of July 2022, this project is still considered proposed, since the expected time window for construction (2025–2027) has not yet arrived. 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 pipeline will be used to deliver gas to consumers in the Volga and Northwestern federal districts and for export. As of July 2023, it is the only document, which mentions the project. The Gazprom's 2022 Annual Report does not list the pipeline under "Prospective/Under Construction Projects".

The project was excluded from the list of "Planned Transmission Gas Pipelines" by the order of the Russian Government released in February 2024. The construction of the pipeline had been considered as one of the options for development of the gas transmission system, and it was concluded that there is currently no need for it.
