The Baltic Pipeline System-2 (BPS-2, Russian: Балтийская Трубопроводная Система 2, БТС-2) is an under construction second trunk line of Baltic Pipeline System.
Building pipeline is conducted by company Transneft, personally Nikolay Tokarev, works supervises Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Overview
The project was proposed after an oil dispute between Russia and Belarus at the beginning of January 2007, and was approved by the Russian government on 21 May 2007.[2][3] Although in April 2008 Russia's Ministry of Industry and Energy submitted a negative report regarding the pipeline,[4] on 1 December 2008 Prime Minister Vladimir Putin signed a decree ordering construction.[5] The construction started on 10 June 2009.[6]
The 1,170 kilometres (730 mi) long BPS-2 will run from the Unecha junction of the Druzhba pipeline near the Russia-Belarus border to the Ust-Luga terminal on the Gulf of Finland with 172 kilometres (107 mi) long branch line to Kirishi oil refinery. The pipeline will pass Bryansk, Smolensk, Tver, Novgorod, and Leningrad regions.[7][2]
Diameter of an oil pipeline is 1,067 / 1,020 mm, the initialt capacity of BPS-2 will be 50 million tons.[1][8] The capacity of Kirishi branch line will be 12 million tons of oil annually. The pipeline will have nine[7] pumping stations. The construction cost is estimated at US$4 billion.[6]
Stages
The first stage of BPS-2 is 998 kilometres (620 mi)[1] long, it expected to be completed by September 2012.[5][8] The initialt capacity of BPS-2 will be 30 million tons of oil annually.[1][8] Two will be constructed Oil-pumping station is #3 and # 7, is reconstructed Oil-pumping station is #1 Unecha, and # 5 Andreapol, constructed Pipe-end oil-pumping station "Ust-luga".
The second stage is expected to be completed by December 2013.[5][8] The initialt capacity of BPS-2 will be upgraded with 30 to 50 million tons of oil annually.[1][8] The branch to Kirishi will be in addition constructed, the capacity of it will be 12 million tons of oil annually, the branch to Ust-Luga will be upgraded with 30 to 38 million tons of oil annually. Four will be constructed Oil-pumping station is # 2, # 4, # 6 and # 8, is reconstructed Oil-pumping station is #7 with tank battery in volume of 80 thousand cubic metre[1]
