Incab Cable for Transneft PJSC

Transneft officially commissioned the Zapolyarye — Purpe and Kuyumba — Tayshet oil trunk pipelines.


Russian President Vladimir Putin took part in the inauguration ceremony via a teleconference.


The projects delivered the aim of linking new fields in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District and Krasnoyarsk Region with resource potential standing at 2 billion tons of crude to the system of oil trunk pipelines of the Russian Federation, ensuring oil transportation to Russian refineries, increasing the potential of export deliveries as well as diversification of Russian crude supply routes in the direction of Asia Pacific markets.


The Zapolyarye — Purpe and Kuyumba — Tayshet oil pipelines are unique projects, with newest construction technologies and methods used in their erection. Communication systems for the pipelines were built with the use of Incab optical cable.


The oil pipelines were built in an extremely challenging natural and climatic environment. More than 50% of the territory where the oil pipelines are laid is described as perennially frozen ground, with 70% of the terrain being swamped and waterlogged. The construction was further complicated by significant temperature drops and the lack of roads as well industrial or other infrastructure.


In the process of building oil trunk pipelines all industrial and environmental safety requirements were met.
