Project Description
Gazprom, BASF, E.ON, Engie, OMW and Shell entered into the Shareholders Agreement in September 2015 to build the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline system, with a capacity of 55-billion cubic meters a year, from Russia to Germany across the Baltic Sea.

To deliver natural gas to Nord Stream 2, a new gas transmission infrastructure has to be built within the Unified Gas Supply System of Russia (UGSS). The UGSS represents a unique engineering complex encompassing gas production, processing, transmission, storage and distribution facilities in European Russia and Western Siberia.

The Ukhta – Torzhok-2 gas pipeline project will ensure the delivery of the required gas volumes to north-western Russia for domestic consumption and export purposes.

The pipeline will be about 970 km long and will have a design capacity of 45-billion cubic metres a year.

Eight compressor stations with an aggregate capacity of 689 MW will be built along the gas pipeline route.
