Background

In April 2025, Gazprom approved a major project to upgrade the gas transmission system along the Ukhta–Gryazovets corridor, aiming to boost efficiency and support the development of the northern gas export route from Yamal. According to Gazprom, the initiative will drive growth across the enterprise and enable a more energy-efficient flow of gas from Bovanenkovo to Gryazovets. The project involves two key phases: 1. dismantling the aging Ukhta–Torzhok I and II gas pipelines, in operation since 1969 and operating at 5.4 MPa, which are currently the least efficient in the system; 2. constructing new high-pressure pipelines (9.8 MPa), which offer three times the capacity per line and 31% better fuel and energy efficiency.

Route

The three pipelines routes (I, II, and III) run essentially parallel to each other, from start to finish.

The pipelines run partially parallel to the newer pipelines with the same name, Ukhta-Torzhok (Yamal) Gas Pipeline and Ukhta-Torzhok (Yamal) 2 Gas Pipeline. However, there are several significant differences in route between the two sets of pipelines:

• Start point: The Ukhta-Torzhok (Yamal) Gas Pipeline and Ukhta-Torzhok (Yamal) 2 Gas Pipeline connect to the Bovanenkovo-Ukhta Gas Pipeline, while the Ukhta-Torzhok (Vuktyl) Gas Pipelines (I, II, and III) connect to Vuktyl-Ukhta I Gas Pipeline, Vuktyl-Ukhta II Gas Pipeline, and Punga-Vuktyl-Ukhta I Gas Pipeline respectively.

• End point: While the Ukhta-Torzhok (Yamal) Gas Pipeline and Ukhta-Torzhok (Yamal) 2 Gas Pipeline terminate near Gryazovets, the Ukhta-Torzhok (Vuktyl) Gas Pipeline (I, II, and III) terminates at Torzhok.

A detailed route for each of the three pipelines was downloaded from OpenStreetMap, Open Infrastructure Map: I, II, and III.
