Gazprom has commenced with the construction of the 4,000km Power of Siberia pipeline – which will ship $400bn worth of Russian gas to China.
Gazprom will deliver 38 billion cubic metres of natural gas to China for a period of 30 years, via the Power of Siberia trunkline. The trunkline features the Yakutia and Irkutsk production centres, which were built to supply gas to Russia’s Far East and China.
Gas from the production centres will be shipped to Vladivostok through Khabarovsk. The first phase of the project includes the construction of the Yakutia / Khabarovsk / Vladivostok gas trunkline.
Under the second phase, the Irkutsk centre will be linked to the Yakutia centre by the gas pipeline. The Power of Siberia will become a unified gas transmission system (GTS) for the gas production centres.
