The Power of Siberia ([Сила Сибири] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) pipeline (formerly known as Yakutia–Khabarovsk–Vladivostok pipeline) is a natural gas pipeline under construction in Eastern Siberia to transport Yakutia's gas to Primorsky Krai and Far East countries.

History edit

On 29 October 2012 president Vladimir Putin instructed the general manager of Gazprom to start the construction of the pipeline.[1] On 21 May 2014, Russia and China signed a 30-year gas deal which was needed to make the project feasible. Construction was launched on 1 September 2014 in Yakutsk by president Putin and Chinese deputy premier minister Zhang Gaoli.[2][3] Construction of the pipeline from Vladivostok to China started on 29 June 2015.[4]

  • 4 September 2016: Gazprom’s Chairman Alexey Miller and China National Petroleum Corporation’s Chairman Wang Yilin signed an agreement to build a crossing under the Amur River for the pipeline.[5]
  • April 2017: The pipeline’s construction had crossed the Chinese border.[6]
  • May 2017: A temporary checkpoint was built along the Russian-Chinese border.[7]

The current policy is to complete 1,300 kilometers of the pipeline before the end of 2017.[9] Construction is currently ahead of schedule, thanks to a warmer-than-expected 2016 winter.[10]

Technical description edit

The pipeline is expected to cost 770 billion roubles and the investment in the gas production is 430 billion roubles.[1] It is expected to be operational by 2019.[11] Capacity of the 56-inch (1,400 mm) pipeline would be up to 61 billion cubic metres per annum (2.2×10^12 cu ft/a) of natural gas.[12] 38 billion cubic metres per annum (1.3×10^12 cu ft/a) would be supplied to China.[11][13] The pipeline's working pressure is 9.8 megapascals (1,421 psi).[14]

The pipeline will be able to withstand temperatures as low as -62 °C (-79.6 °F).[15] Nanocomposite coatings manufactured and engineered by JSC Metaclay will be used to increase the lifetime of the pipeline.[16] Furthermore, the pipeline will be able to withstand earthquakes by incorporating materials that will deform under seismic activity.[17] Internal coatings ensure energy efficiency by reducing the friction of the pipeline’s inner surfaces.[18] The mass of all the pipes used to construct the pipeline is greater than 2.5 megatons.[19]

Route edit

A 3,200-kilometre (2,000 mi) section of the pipeline will start from the Chayanda oil and gas field in Yakutia. It will partly run within an integrated corridor with the second stage of Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean oil pipeline.[20] In Khabarovsk, it will be connected with the Sakhalin–Khabarovsk–Vladivostok pipeline. Together, these pipelines will feed a planned LNG plant, which will produce liquefied natural gas for export to Japan, and a planned petrochemical complex in Primorsky Krai.[20][21][22] Branches toward Northern China are envisaged.

In addition, the project includes 800-kilometre (500 mi) pipeline from Irkutsk to Yakutia.[23]

Source of supply edit

The pipeline will be fed from the Chayanda oil and gas field in Yakutia.[24] The gas field is expected to be launched in 2019.[11] Later the Kovykta field, which would come operational by 2021, will be connected to the pipeline.[11][25] Independent producers may supply up to 25 billion cubic metres per annum (880×10^9 cu ft/a) of natural gas.[26]
