Background

The pipeline begins 8 kilometers to the northeast of Novy Urengoy and ends at a connection point located at the 358th kilometer of the main oil pipeline Zapolyarye-Purpe Oil Pipeline, which is 20 km north of the settlement of Syvdarma. It serves as an alternative transportation route to the Urengoy-Surgut Condensate Pipeline.

The pipeline was commissioned in March 2022 as part of a new complex for processing and transporting liquid hydrocarbons in the area of the Urengoy field in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District. The complex also includes a condensate stabilization unit for the fields of the Nadym-Pur-Tazovsky region, the Urengoyskaya oil pumping station, and a reception and delivery point. The creation of this complex is part of Gazprom's systematic efforts for efficient development of hydrocarbon reserves in the oil and gas clusters of the Nadym-Pur-Tazovsky region. The complex, in particular, will contribute to a planned increase in production of gas from the challenging Achimov formations of the Urengoy field in the long term. This will be achieved through new capacities for processing and transporting gas condensate separated from the gas extracted at the Urengoy field.
