Gas for Chechnya
April 9 (LNGJ) - Russian natural gas company Gazprom has opened the Mozdok-Grozny gas trunkline to improve supplies to the Chechen Republic, part of Russia's North Caucasian Federal District and which was the subject of two separatist wars from 1994 to 2009. The new gas pipeline crosses under 13 roads and six bodies of water, including the Terek River. An affiliated gas distribution station with an hourly capacity of 247,000 cubic metres was created as part of the project in the North Caucasus region between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
“Gazprom has been making large-scale efforts for gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion in the region. By the start of this year, the company built over 743 kilometres of gas pipelines in the Chechen Republic and created the conditions for connecting 11,800 households to gas,” stated Gazprom.
