Project details

Background

The proposed pipeline would be owned and operated by Gazprom.[3] It would run parallel to the Bovanenkovo-Ukhta Gas Pipeline and Bovanenkovo-Ukhta 2 Gas Pipeline. In Ukhta, the pipeline would connect to the Yamal-Europe Gas Pipeline.[6]

In November 2020, Gazprom carried out engineering and environmental surveys on the route of the proposed pipeline. The results of engineering and environmental surveys will be used to develop an environmental impact assessment (EIA) of the projected facilities and will serve as initial data in the development of environmental protection measures for the period of its construction and operation. The assessment was planned to be completed and submitted for government review during the 4th quarter of 2021.[6] In July 2021, Gazprom initiated a tender for construction materials.[2] In November 2021, the head of Komi Republic mentioned that the pipeline was expected to be commissioned in 2024-2028.[7]

In February 2022, the general director of the company Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta (subsidiary of Gazprom) noted that construction of the Bovanenkovo​-Ukhta-3 gas pipeline was expected to start in 2022.[10] In May 2022, Gazprom announced a tender for development of design documentation related to the pipeline and related infrastructure.[11] In September 2022, the Ministry of Energy of Russia approved documentation on planning of the territory for Stage 2.9 of the construction of the pipeline.[12] 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.[4] The Gazprom's 2022 Annual Report also lists the pipeline under "Prospective/Under Construction Projects".[13] In 2022-2023, a number of tenders to provide services for the construction of the pipeline was published on the website of Gazpromstroy, a subsidiary of Gazprom.[14]

The construction works on the pipeline are planned in 2024-2028.[15]
