Intergas Central Asia pipeline repaired in Kazakhstan.
ASTANA, September 29 (Itar-Tass) - Intergas Central Asia gas pipeline on which gas supply was suspended a week ago due to an emergency, has been repaired in the Mangistau region of Kazakhstan, the press service of the republic's Emergency Situations Ministry reported on Wednesday.
"As of 18:00 (16:00, Moscow time) on September 28 the assembly of
pipes and shaped objects was made and they were laid down in a trench with
the stop valves' installation. The emergency restoration operations were
completed in full volume," the press service specified.
Integrated teams of the Intergas Central Asia joint-stock company -
165 specialists and 69 machinery units, were engaged in the liquidation of
the emergency aftermath.
There were three ruptures on the night of September 22 in the
Mangistau region of Kazakhstan on the Intergas Central Asia high-pressure
gas mainline, one kilometre from the Sai-Utes settlement. The ruptures
caused burning, so the gas supply was shut off.
A total of 80 people and 10 machinery units, including an emergency
restoration train, were immediately sent to liquidate the emergency. A
response headquarters has been established by the regional emergencies
department.
Intergas Central Asia is a daughter enterprise of KazTransGas. The
pipeline is used for transit of Central Asian and Russian gas via the
territory of Kazakhstan.
Intergas Central Asia, JSC ("ICA") was incorporated in June 1997 and
currently, being a member of KazTransGas group of companies (a subsidiary
of the NC KazMunayGas) has the primary responsibility to operate and
manage the gas transportation networks of Kazakhstan granted to ICA under
the terms of concession.
The principal activities of Intergas Central Asia focus on operation
and maintenance of the main gas transportation system securing
transmission of natural gas to domestic consumers and international gas
transit.
Notably, Intergas Central Asia controls and manages the main gas
pipeline transportation system of the Republic of Kazakhstan with the
total length of gas pipelines in excess of 11,000 km. Given the on-going
reconstruction the throughput capacity of the pipelines has been
invariably increasing.
Within Kazakhstan, ICA is responsible for transportation of natural
gas through 10 main gas pipelines serviced by 22compressor stations
equipped with284gas compressor units of various types and models.
The most important in terms of transmission volumes is the main gas
pipeline Central Asia-Centre ("CAC") with the aggregate length of 4,892 km
in one-line estimation.
In addition, ICA operates three underground gas storages ("UGS"), the
biggest being Bozoi UGS located in Aktobe region. Others are Poltoratskoye
UGS located in the Southern-Kazakhstan region and Akyrtobe UGS in Zhambyl
region. Underground gas storages are used to smooth the seasonality of gas
demand supplying extra natural gas in winter and during the periods with
lower gas imports.
