Background

The pipeline transports oil produced from the Vankor field in the Krasnoyarsk Territory to the Transneft-owned trunk pipeline's tie-in point in the village of Purpe in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, where oil will be transported to Transneft's transmission network, from where it can be transported to China via the East Siberian-Pacific Ocean pipeline, as well as a petrochemical complex in Russia's Far East, among other destinations.

Spills

In March 2016, Rosneft reported that the pipeline had been damaged in two places due to high pressure after a power failure, resulting in several oil spills of undetermined amounts.
