Russia’s Gazprom May 17 said that 83% of the Power of Siberia gas pipeline is complete.
“By now, a total of 1,791 kilometres, or 83% of the linear section running from Chayandinskoye to the Chinese border in the Amur region is finished. The bulk of construction and installation work for this section will be completed this year,” Gazprom said.

Construction of a two-string crossing under the Amur river within the Power of Siberia gas pipeline is also in progress, Gazprom said. Pipe pulling work in the first tunnel is expected to be completed soon.
The Power of Siberia gas pipeline will carry gas from the Irkutsk and Yakutia gas production centres to consumers in Russia’s Far East and China. In 2014, Gazprom signed a 30-year contract with CNPC for the supply of 38bn m3/yr of gas via the pipeline. First gas is expected to flow into China at the end of 2019.
