Gazprom determines optimal route for pipeline to China via Mongolia, pre-feasibility study proves its cost-effectiveness www.interfax.com
MOSCOW. April 12 (Interfax) - Gazprom has identified the optimal route for the Soyuz Vostok gas pipeline via Mongolia to China; a pre-feasibility study has proved its cost-effectiveness.
The Russian gas giant said in a statement that the pre-feasibility study had been approved as part of a comprehensive analysis of the project to supply gas to China via Mongolia.
The Soyuz-Vostok pipeline will be routed via Mongolia and will be a continuation of the Russian Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline.
The pre-feasibility study determines the optimal route of the gas pipeline route through the territory of Mongolia, its length, diameter, operating pressure and the number of compressor stations. Preliminary design indicators show the necessary economic effectiveness of the project's implementation.
The full feasibility study for the project, which will detail investment and operating expenditures, should be ready by the end of the year, as the joint working group set up by Gazprom and Mongolia's government stipulates in its plan of action. The special purpose company Soyuz Vostok Gas Pipeline is working in the study.
