The Sokhranovka CS – Oktyabrskaya CS gas main helps the company to directly supply gas to Russian consumers and to reduce transit costs via the territory of the neighboring country.

Bogdan Budzulyak, chairman of Gazprom, said: The compressor station commissioning is an important step towards reliable gas supply to consumers of Russia’s southern regions.

The end of the Kamensk-Shakhtinskaya compressor station and Sokhranovka CS – Oktyabrskaya CS gas main construction is of prime importance because it creates new opportunities and large perspectives to develop gasification of the Rostov Oblast, while resolving an important social and economic issue.
