During a recent meeting, the Gazprom Management Committee addressed the progress with the South Stream gas pipeline construction project.
It was stressed that South Stream Transport was ready for constructing the most complicated part of the project – the first and the second strings of the offshore gas pipeline. FEED activities are already complete for the offshore section. At present, the project contractor Saipem is engaged in detailed engineering of the submerged trunkline. Almost 300 000 t of pipes have been supplied for the first offshore string and pipeline sections for the deep-water part are currently being welded in the port of Burgas.
South Stream is Gazprom's global infrastructure project aimed at constructing a gas pipeline with a capacity of 63 billion m3 across the Black Sea to Southern and Central Europe. The gas pipeline will reach its full capacity in 2018.
