Background
The construction of the Ukhta – Torzhok gas pipeline started in 2011. Its linear part and top-priority compressor stations were put onstream in 2012 and the other compressor capacities in 2013.[1]
The Ukhta – Torzhok and the partially parallel Ukhta-Torzhok 2 Gas Pipeline are significant arteries to Russia's gas supply system in the territory between the Yamal Peninsula and the Gulf of Finland. The pipelines deliver gas from the Yamal fields to Central Russia along with northwestern Russia for the needs of domestic consumers and for export purposes.[1][6]
Each pipeline has a reported capacity of 45 bcm/year, measures 1,420 millimeters in diameter, and has a working pressure 100 atm. There are seven compressor stations.[1]
On February 13, 2023, Russian authorities reported two ruptures on the same day on the Ukhta–Torzhok Gas Pipelinecand on the Ukhta–Torzhok 3 Gas Pipeline. The first rupture occurred on the Ukhta–Torzhok Gas Pipeline near a river crossing in the Nyuksensky district of the Vologda region in the country’s northwest. The blast caused a major fire at the site. Operator Gazprom Transgaz Ukhta said the pipeline had been idle at the time of the incident, with valves at neighboring segments automatically closing when the drop in pressure was detected.[7]
