It is reported that Russian pipe producer Chelyabinsk Tube-Rolling Plant will supply steel pipes for the Bovanenkovo-Uhta gas pipeline project. The project implemented by Gazprom since 2008 is designed to supply the Nord Stream gas pipeline with natural gas. The pipeline length will be over 2,400 kilometres.
ChTPZ has an annual capacity of about 400,000 tonnes of large diameter pipes.
In September this year, ChTPZ plans to supply around 20,000 mt of large diameter pipes for the Bovanenkovo-Uhta project.
