Background
In July 2019, Gazprom announced that it was resuming construction of its Pochinki-Anapa pipeline, which was cancelled in 2014 after Russia’s annexation of Crimea led to European sanctions on the country.[8]
The Southern Corridor («Южный коридор») project aimed to transport Russian gas through the Black Sea via the South Stream («Южный поток») pipeline, onto the Balkans and finally ending in Austria. The Southern Corridor consists of two segments: the currently operating Pisarevka-Anapa Gas Pipeline and the Pochinki-Anapa gas pipeline. The Pochinki-Anapa pipeline constitutes the eastern route of the Southern Corridor project.[8] The South Stream pipeline was canceled in 2014 after Russia’s annexation of Crimea led to European sanctions on the country. The Pochinki-Anapa pipeline was subsequently shelved in 2015 after the South Stream pipeline’s cancellation and its subsequent replacement by Turkish Stream, which halved the project’s capacity from 63 billion cubic meters to 31.5 billion cubic meters.[8]
Gazprom has started construction of the pipeline and as of 2018, over 500 kilometers of the pipeline have been constructed.[6] In July 2019, Gazprom announced that they intend to complete construction and repurpose the pipeline to supply gas to the internal Russian market.[6] In March 2021, the government review committee has reviewed and approved the design documentation and results of engineering surveys for the construction of another section of the pipeline.[9] The approved design documentation is for the construction of the pipeline section 204.4 km long, running in parallel to the Petrovsk-Frolovo-Izobilnoye Gas Pipeline.[10] In July 2022, it was reported that additional 51 km of the pipeline have been constructed, and additional 145.5 km are expected to be laid down by the end of 2023.[7]
As of July 2023, the latest update on the pipeline of April 2023 indicates the ongoing construction works.[5]
A segment of the pipeline, 0-295 km, has been commissioned in 2022.[3]
