The Gazprom Management Committee examined the operational readiness of the Unified Gas Supply System (UGSS) facilities for peak loads in late 2019 – early 2020 and reviewed the long-term measures needed to be taken to ensure uninterrupted gas supplies to consumers in winter.

It was noted at the meeting that the Company is steadfastly committed to providing reliable gas supplies to Russian and foreign consumers, especially in the peak season. According to forecasts, weather in January-March 2020 will be markedly colder than in the previous winter.

Gazprom carried out all necessary measures, including 11 sets of planned preventive maintenance and repair operations. Specifically, when preparing the production facilities in January-September, the Company completed planned preventive maintenance at 89 comprehensive gas treatment units (CGTUs) and pre-treatment units. At the Urengoyskoye field, it is planned to complete the expansion of CGTU-22 in the second block of Achimov deposits and to bring onstream the booster compressor station (BCS) in the Pestsovaya area before the end of the year. At the Bovanenkovskoye field, Gazprom plans to put into operation the second train of the BCS at gas production facility No. 3 in the same period.

Particular attention was paid to the efficient operation of the gas transmission system. In the first nine months of 2019, the Company overhauled 582 kilometers of the linear part of gas trunklines and 24 strings of submerged crossings.
