Investment Projects

After the completion of the main investment projects in 2019, Transneft focused on the modernisation and revamping of the existing infrastructure in 2020: approximately 40% of trunk pipelines operate at the limit of technical resources.

In the next 5 years, the Company will prioritise work aimed at maintaining a sufficient level of technical reliability of the equipment and systems in operation that ensure the transportation of oil and petroleum products (in compliance with the established safety standards). These include:

  • revamping of the line to eliminate defects revealed by the results of in-line inspection;
  • bringing storage tanks in line with regulatory requirements;
  • revamping of power equipment of pumping stations to increase reliability;
  • replacement of pumping equipment and stop valves to improve reliability;
  • replacing process pipelines of pumping stations while taking into account their operating modes and service life;
  • revamping telemechanics and automation systems to replace obsolete relay systems with modern microprocessor systems;
  • introduction of a unified supervisory control system;
  • revamping and construction of new oil and petroleum products’ lease automatic custody transfer units (LACTs) to improve the quality and accuracy of commodity transport operations.

Within the framework of the Investment Programme, the implementation of the project on the revamping of oil trunk pipelines leading to the refineries of Krasnodar Territory and the project on a unified information system (UIS) will continue.

Revamping oil trunk pipelines for transportation of oil to refineries in Krasnodar Territory

Project goal

  • Ensure oil transportation by Transneft trunk oil pipeline system to Krasnodar Territory plants (Afipsky Refinery, Ilsk Refinery).

Basis for Implementation

  • Contracts for the provision of services for connecting oil refineries of Afipsky Refinery, LLC, and Ilsky Refinery, LLC, to the trunk pipeline system of Transneft.

Description

  • The project provides for the construction of an oil pipeline and a new oil pumping station.

Status

  • In 2019, the 1st stage of the project was completed with the process connection of the Ilsky Refinery. At the request of the Afipsky Refinery, the completion of the 2nd stage with the connection of the Afipsky Refinery was postponed to 2021.
Reconstruction of main oil pipelines for transporting oil to the refinery of the Krasnodar Territory

Developing a Corporate Data Communication Network to Build Transneft’s Unified Information System

Project goal

  • Improving the reliability of the technological communication networks of oil trunk pipelines, creating a high-speed communication network of Transneft Group for the modernisation of technological control systems and monitoring the operation of all oil pipeline facilities, as well as the introduction of modern information systems to solve production and management problems.

Basis for Implementation

  • Strategic Development Programme of the Company.

Description

  • The project provides for the construction of a trunk fiber-optic communications link with a total length of more than 9 thousand km and about 300 antenna-mast communication structures.

Status

  • The construction of 7,830 km of the trunk fiber-optic communications link (FOCL) and 169 antenna-mast structures has been completed.
  • Completion of the project is scheduled for 2025.
